During the American Civil War Adele Hugo (played by Isabelle Adjani), the second daughter of the great French writer Victor Hugo, crossed the ocean to Halifax, Canada, in search of her lover - British officer Pinson (played by Bruce Robinson). However, Pinson has fallen in love with someone else and is extremely indifferent to Adele. Adele tried every possible way to win back Pinson but failed. On the other hand, the high cost of living in the local area also made Adele unable to bear it, and she could only ask her father to send money again and again. At this time, Hugo was in exile on a small island. His wife was seriously ill. The couple had repeatedly hoped that Adele could return home, but Adele insisted on staying in Canada. The failure of her relationship often made Adele think of her sister who had drowned, and her mind began to go crazy. Afterwards, Pinson followed the troops out of Halifax to another small island, Barbados, where Adele followed. There, her condition deteriorated day by day and she was eventually sent back to France to spend the rest of her life in a convalescence home. She passed away quietly during World War I. This film is a biopic about Adele, the second daughter of Victor Hugo. Isabel Agani, who played Adele, was nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars that year.[Collapse]
