Set in an unnamed North African colony on the brink of nationalism before WWII, French diplomat Julien Rochelle meets the enigmatic Clothilde de Watteville. She may be the wife of a French official held in Siberia or the mythic Hecate, a sorceress haunting the European quarter. Based on Paul Morand’s novel, the film treats love as projection, crafting a magical, psychologically opaque atmosphere as Clothilde turns away from the chaos she provokes.
