7th Heaven

In 1927 Paris, Chico (Charles Farrell), a humble sewer worker, dreams of a better job sweeping streets and finding a wife. Amidst his struggles in the grimy underbelly of the city, he encounters Diane (Gaynor), a woman burdened by hardship and pursued by police for a minor offense. Offering her refuge, Chico soon forms a deep bond with her, and their love blossoms despite their impoverished circumstances. Their marriage brings joy, but the outbreak of World War I tears them apart as Chico is drafted. When Diane learns of his supposed death in battle, her faith shatters. Unknown to her, Chico survives, though blinded, and seeks to reunite with his beloved.
