Céline

In a few days Céline loses her father, who dies in her arms. She also discovers she is adopted by an employee of her father, learns she has no true family, and must renounce her inheritance. To top it off, her fiancé Olivier leaves her, leaving Céline feeling utterly bereft.

Geneviève, a home nurse, finds Céline prostrate in the rain and brings her back to the Vieux Moulin. Céline attempts suicide by taking sleeping pills and then throwing herself into the pond, but Geneviève rescues her. The crisis marks the beginning of their unlikely alliance.

Madame Giraud offers to hire Geneviève to live at the Vieux Moulin and care for Céline while she recovers. Geneviève, who has faced her own crisis and lives with the threat of heart disease, accepts the arrangement as a chance to rebuild her life. The plan ties the two women together in a fragile, evolving relationship.

We learn that Geneviève survived a difficult divorce crisis and lives under the threat of heart disease. These experiences influence how she supports Céline, preferring steady guidance over pills. Her vulnerability makes her relationship with Céline more intimate and real.

Geneviève initially prescribes classic tranquilizers, but she soon stops giving them. She tells Céline that healing must come from within, and that she should call for help only if she truly seeks it. This marks a turning point in their treatment.

When Céline cries Help me, Geneviève responds with a life discipline and structure. Céline reluctantly accepts the regimen and gradually starts following it. The shift marks the beginning of a new, purposeful routine.

Geneviève introduces relaxation methods, meditation, and yoga to Céline. These practices steady her mind, reduce panic, and build inner strength. Over time, Céline embraces the discipline and begins to feel in control of her life.

Gérard, a doctor and friend, supports Céline and helps her regain a taste for life. With his encouragement and the new routine, she starts to work again and rebuilds her self-confidence. The ongoing support strengthens the bond between Céline and Geneviève as Céline heals.

The friendship between Geneviève and Céline deepens as they live in harmony with nature. Their home becomes a sanctuary where healing and growth happen. The two women support one another through quiet daily rituals.

Céline becomes absorbed in meditation and discovers paranormal powers: mental projection, premonitions, and bilocation. She begins to sense events beyond ordinary perception. These abilities mark the turning point toward a mystic and controversial reputation.

Her powers trigger spontaneous healings ranging from minor scratches to a paralytic who regains mobility nearby. News of the miracles spreads through the neighborhood, drawing crowds and skeptics alike. Geneviève watches with concern as Céline's fame grows.

A dark silhouette, the Shadow of Death, appears as the phenomena intensify. At times Céline levitates in front of Geneviève, heightening the sense that a miraculous force is at work. The tension between belief and fear thickens the air around them.

Céline feels drawn toward what she calls God and merges with the divine during meditation. She announces that she has entered the orders and will be sent on a mission to the Chinese border, even donating the property to Geneviève in passing. The community watches in awe as her path changes course.

Geneviève collapses from a heart attack, and the Shadow of Death returns to claim her. Céline reappears to chase away the apparition, then slips a ring on Geneviève's finger, sealing their eternal friendship before disappearing. The moment redefines their bond as spiritual and lifelong.

In the early morning, Geneviève is alive and decides to pursue a serious relationship with Gérard, opening a shared office in the house. The sun shines, nature pulses, and life continues with renewed purpose for both women.
