The story of a passionate, obsessive affair between a French man and woman in India. Set along the Ganges, their relationship is marked by desire, tension, and emotional turmoil. The man is distant and brooding, while the woman is longing and expressive. The film emphasizes mood and intimacy over plot, ending with separation and the woman left in longing, reflecting themes of love, obsession, and the impossibility of full connection.
Directed by Marguerite Duras
