In 1850, on the isolated French island of Saint-Pierre, a murder shocks the natives. Two fishermen are arrested. One of them, Louis Ollivier, dies in custody. The other, Neel Auguste, is sentenced to death by the guillotine. The island is so small that it has neither a guillotine nor an executioner. While those are sent for Auguste is placed under the supervision of an army Captain.
VIBE
A stark, windswept drama where simmering passions clash with rigid societal structures. It's a brooding, atmospheric piece about love and duty on a remote island, where fate feels as inescapable as the sea.
