Le jour de l'armistice qui annonce la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, Vera trouve refuge dans une église. La vue d'une peinture de désolation la pousse à repenser à son passé. Quatre ans plus tôt, elle était heureuse auprès de ses parents même si son père ne voulait pas l'envoyer à Oxford. À force d'acharnements, la jeune femme y est pourtant parvenue. C'est à ce moment qu'elle a noué une relation intime avec Roland, un ami de son frère Edward. Mais lorsque la guerre éclate et que les hommes vont au front, Vera décide d'apporter son effort en devenant infirmière afin de soigner les blessés.
