Celé jedno století uplynulo od událostí první světové války, které tvoří pozadí nejznámějšího díla Romaina Rollanda, nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu, novely Petr a Lucie. V mistrně vykreslené atmosféře města, přírody, světla a tmy, válečného rachotu i ticha sní svůj křehký sen o lásce nesmířlivý, trochu zhýčkaný mladík, procházející nelehkým obdobím dospívání, a života znalejší dívka, která však umí bezmezně milovat. Spíš než jako literární postavy působí jako skuteční lidé, s nimiž dýcháte i přicházíte o dech – a nejen proto, že jejich příběh se stejně tak může odehrát i dnes.
