A profoundly beautiful movie" (The New York Times), The Story of Adele H. is a haunting film based on a true story about desire, devotion...and madness. Oscar-nominated Isabelle Adjani stars in this lush portrait of a woman whose obsessive passion sets the stage for "one of the most romantic films of recent years" (Saturday Review).

Adele, daughter of French author and patriot Victor Hugo, is beautiful, composed and filled with the same brilliant writing talent as her famous father. However, Adele is driven not by literary aspirations but by love. Impelled by a need that will not be denied, she has run away from home to follow her handsome, womanizing lover (Bruce Robinson) across an ocean to wintry Halifax, Nova Scotia. Wild with desire, she'll risk everything to renew their brief affair. And if she can't win him back, there'll be a terrible price to pay.
