This Hitchcock-style romantic thriller stars Jean-Paul Belmondo (Louis) and Catherine Deneuve (Julie) in an exploration of sexual obsession and betrayal. Louis, a tobacco planter on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, sends away for a mail-order bride. When Julie arrives, things seem too good to be true - and they are. When she mysteriously disappears after draining his bank account, Louis's search for her leads him to France where he finds her working in a nightclub.
