Plot Synopsis

Judit, the new wife of Blue Beard, investigates the castle of her lord and master. In spite of her dismay, she wants to help and to console her husband, on whom there seems to be a curse. It was Norman Foster's project, an American opera singer who had obtained a contract to make a one-hour film-opera.
