Plot

Victor Hugo's daughter follows a soldier across the world.

Sinekatalog’s take

François Truffaut's period drama traces Victor Hugo's daughter's obsession with a soldier. Isabelle Adjani is astonishing in a feverish, haunting portrait of unrequited love tipping into madness.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
