Tam, gde bilos' moe serdce

Eto istoriya zhizni Roberta Hendriksa, uspeshnogo psihiatra i pisatelya. Chelovek on malosimpatichnyy, cinik (v osobennosti v otnosheniyah s zhenschinami). Postepenno my ponimaem, chto u Roberta ne vse tak prosto v zhizni, kak emu by hotelos' pokazat' okruzhayuschim. Ego otec pogib v Pervuyu mirovuyu, sam on - veteran Vtoroy, i ego presleduyut strannye i mrachnye navazhdeniya - ne to ego sobstvennye podavlennye vospominaniya, ne to otcovskiy opyt. Odnazhdy Robertu prihodit priglashenie ot drugogo psihiatra, prestarelogo Aleksandra Pereyry, posetit' togo na malen'kom ostrove v Yuzhnoy Francii. Pereyra okazyvaetsya strannym sub'ektom so svoimi skeletami v shkafu. Ot nego Robert nakonec uznaet ob obstoyatel'stvah gibeli otca, i eti besedy priotkryvayut dlya nego vytesnennoe sobstvennoe proshloe, i v nem - prekrasnuyu i tragicheskuyu istoriyu lyubvi.
