“What kind of woman would wait her whole life for one man...? And what kind of man would deny her...?”
DramaHistory
In the 19th century a mysterious woman named Adele H. crosses the ocean, from Europe to North America, to relentlessly pursue a handsome officer that denies her satisfaction.
VIBE
A haunting descent into obsessive love. It feels like watching a slow, inevitable unraveling, steeped in a suffocating, melancholic atmosphere. The film is an intense character study of a woman consumed by her own unrequited affections.
