Robert and his fiancée Lucienne were due to go on vacation together to a tented village in Sicily. Robert is forced to postpone his trip and only joins Lucienne a few days later, taking advantage of the departure of a following group. During the train journey, he befriends Thérèse, a young Sicilian living in Paris, who wants to make a pilgrimage to the land of her ancestors. Lucienne is away from the camp when Robert arrives, so he can continue to see Thérèse, and little by little they discover that they love each other. When Lucienne returns, an explanation and reconciliation take place, then Robert changes his mind and, with the vacations over, leaves Lucienne alone to live in Sicily with Thérèse, who wants to stay in her family's homeland.

In Sicilia, viene creato uno dei primi villaggi vacanze sul modello francese. Giovani francesi incontrano la realtà dei loro coetanei siciliani che, a loro volta, entrano in contatto con gli stranieri. I due gruppi fanno amicizia e nascono storie d'amore più o meno durature. Un giovane architetto francese si innamora e decide di lasciare la fidanzata parigina.

Француз инженер-строитель Робер (Робер Ламуре) решает провести отпуск в кемпинге на Сицилии, куда несколько раньше уехала порядком уже надоевшая ему любовница. По дороге, в поезде, он знакомится с девушкой, итальянкой по происхождению, Терезой (Лючия Бозе) и пускает в ход все свое обаяние, чтобы добиться ее любви. Это ему удается, но не сразу.
