La joven Gabrielle de Bergerac ha tenido la fortuna de nacer en una familia ilustre de la nobleza rural francesa previa a la Revolución. Pero también la desgracia de no contar con bienes propios, circunstancia que hará que cualquier indicio de curiosidad vital, de inquietud intelectual, quede ahogado ante la perspectiva de elegir entre dos opciones igualmente sombrías: o un matrimonio favorable o el claustro. Su carácter noble y su naturaleza indagadora quedarán al descubierto cuando en su cerrado círculo social aparece Coquelin, el preceptor de su sobrino, un hombre pobre pero capaz de demostrar que la audacia, el saber y la belleza son valores que nada tienen que ver con la clase social.
