You No Longer Count is an emotional war drama which deals with reactions and sentiments of a young woman named Odette, after the death of her husband at the very beginning of the World War I. After a period of denial and withdrawal into herself, Odette is forced to accept the reality of war. Under a pressure from her friends, she accepts a position as a military nurse in Surville, where she rubs shoulders with the wounded. However, she is still reluctant to the idea that young women, some of whom are close to her, enter into patriotic marriages with wounded soldiers, with the sole aim of founding a family for France.
