A century ago in rural France, Claudine was born to a wealthy family. Claudine had every advantage money could buy, but it could not change this fact: Claudine was born a woman, but knows himself to be a man. As Claudine grows into adulthood, we follow his life as each new love finds new ways to break his heart. Will Claudine ever find someone who accepts and loves them as they truly are?
