Aux environ de 1870, dans un milieu bourgeois, Elisabeth, femme sage et respectable, encombrée de nombreux enfants, veille son mari qui va mourir. Par la grâce d'un somnifère, elle revit, instant par instant, sa jeunesse tumultueuse et tente en vain de s'y perdre à nouveau.
Quebec, the 1830s and 1840s. As she attends the bedside of Jérôme, her second husband, Élisabeth recalls her youth, her marriage to her first husband, Antoine, life in remote Kamouraska where he is seigneur, their love dissolving in his mental illness and cruelties, her falling in love with an American physician, Georges Nelson, and the aftermath of Antoine's violent death.
