She adopted the Vietnamese princess Camille (played by Linh Dan Pham) whose parents had died. ), the two live on each other. Ariana falls in love with the young Vietnamese colonial naval officer Jan Baptis (Vincent Perez), but then Jan and Camille fall in love. Camille vowed to marry to Zhan, and ran away from home to follow Zhan to Long Island in northern Vietnam. On the way, Camille was hunted down for the manslaughter of a French officer, and the two began to flee. On the way, they gave birth to their son Etienne. In the end, the two were arrested and the son was brought up by his grandmother Etienne. Zhan refused to return to the country for trial and committed suicide in indignation. Camille was released from prison due to an amnesty. When Ariana went to take her home, Camille left the home without hesitation and became a staunch Vietnamese national independent communist. A few years later, when Etienne saw her mother who was a member of the Vietnamese delegation participating in the Geneva negotiations again, the two were already indifferent.

Guy: Give me Le Guen.
L'Admiral: No.
Guy: What will you do with him?
L'Admiral: I'm awaiting orders from Paris.
Guy: Let me question him. What he knows about the communist networks and leaders is of major interest to us.
L'Admiral: Three points, Mr. Asselin. One: Le Guen doesn't talk. He hasn't spoken since his arrest. Not even to my chief of staff - his classmate. Two: If I hand him over to you, he might talk. But I'd rather not. We know your methods. Three: Le Guen is a sailor. His case will be tried by sailors. Any relevant information will be passed along to you.
Guy: Thanks. Another example of Navy-Police cooperation. That's what makes empires great.

Mme. Minh Tam: You have to forget this man, Lili. I'll never understand French love stories. They're all about madness, fury, suffering... they're similar to our war stories. You know the secret. I've told you already.
Eliane: Yes, I know. Indifference.
