A period drama examining the exploitation and objectification of a young woman within the pseudoscientific apparatus of 19th-century medicine, told with restrained melancholy and visual elegance.

Set in Belle Époque France, the story follows nineteen-year-old "hysteria" patient Augustine, the star of Professor Charcot's experiments in hypnosis, as she transitions from object of study to object of desire.
