However, he promises his friend Sylvestre, Gaud’s brother, that he will marry her if he returns alive from the Tonkin War…

Masterpiece of silent cinema, loosely inspired by the eponymous novel by the 19th century academician Pierre Loti, a significant work of that era, restored for the first time with its original colour tones. Starring Charles Vanel and Sandra Milowanoff, the film celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024.
