Synopsis:

The heiress Claire (Charlotte Rampling) in this movie is the daughter of the Miss Blandish of the film No Orchids for Miss Blandish. She has been raised under the unsympathetic eye of her aunt (Edwige Feuillere), who has no intention of seeing her receive her large inheritance. A somewhat violent girl (her father was a mentally retarded killer), she has been confined in a mental asylum. All the men who help her meet tragedy and death in the course of the film, but Claire gets help from other quarters, and her prospects look good.

A emotionally disturbed young woman, Claire (Charlotte Rampling - Lemming, Swimming Pool, The Duchess, Heading South) is the heir to a great fortune. She is kept prisoner in a château by her aunt who wants her money. The game-keeper, her guardian, tries to rape her but she manages to escape. In her flight she meets Louis (Bruno Cremer) who is also running away - from two killers. He becomes her lover. In a world of grotesque characters, bizarre incidents, brutal murders and incessant driving rain, this dark and erotic thriller is compelling thanks to the incredible performance of Charlotte Rampling. Will Claire be able to make sense of her own identity?

A disturbed young woman is kept prisoner in a castle by her aunt for her money. The game-keeper, her guardian, tries to rape her but she escapes. In her flight she meets a man also running away, from two killers.
