As Gustave settles into his student life at the Pension Magnotte, he becomes captivated by a grieving Englishwoman named Madame Meynell, whose sorrow deeply affects him. Their chance encounter in the Luxembourg gardens marks the beginning of a profound emotional tension in Gustave's life, as he grapples with the impending marriage arranged by his family and his growing feelings for the mysterious Madame Meynell.
