While Paris was a small town, under the vaults of Notre Dame, a story took place that by the power of passions surpasses Shakespearean passions. The love between a teacher and his student, between a monk and a nun, between a husband and a wife are the different stages of the relations between Abelard and Heloise, one of the most famous couples in humanity.
Their correspondence, their memoirs and their tomb have been preserved. Almost a thousand years later, lovers come on pilgrimage to the tomb of Heloise and Abelard and pronounce this sentence: "God, preserve us from such a love".
