Directed by Yvan Le Moine

Drama

Film Synopsis

In 1909, the renowned English actor and writer Lewis Lafoly turns his back on city life and commits himself to a peaceful exile on the Île de Bourbon (now known as Réunion) in the Indian Ocean.  It is here that the elegant forty-year-old attracts the attention of Rosenn Auroch', an attractive young teacher.  Lafoly's erudition and way with words make him a magnet that Rosenn cannot resist and within no time these two ill-matched individuals are caught up in the most passionate of love affairs.  But when Rosenn discovers she is pregnant Lafoly realises that he must take flight.  This is not the sort of complication he had intended to land himself with when he came to the island.  Unfortunately, Rosenn does not see things from his limited perspective...
