Synopsis
Algérie, mai 1859. Administrateur de la banque Bourg-Thibourg, en Haute Kabylie, Henry Dunant doit faire face à la révolte de colons affamés par une sécheresse chronique. Le jeune homme, issu de la grande bourgeoisie genevoise, n'en est pas moins ouvert aux questions sociales, révolté par les conditions de vie des indigènes et des pieds-noirs, décidé à soulager leur peine en œuvrant à l'édification d'un barrage. À cette fin, il va devoir plaider sa cause devant Napoléon III. En route vers Paris, Henry fait escale en Suisse dans la demeure familiale où il apprend le mariage prochain de son frère aîné Daniel avec Léonie Bourg-Thibourg, la fille de son employeur. Lors d'une fête donnée à cette occasion, Dunant s'effondre, victime d'une crise de paludisme. Il est soigné par son grand-père médecin, Hubert, et par l'assistante de ce dernier, Cécile, qu'il a connue enfant et qui est devenue une ravissante jeune femme. Convalescent, Henry reçoit la visite de son ami le journaliste Samuel Lowenthal, qui lui apprend que l'empereur des Français n'est pas aux Tuileries, mais sur les champs de bataille italiens, où il combat les troupes de François-Joseph Ier d'Autriche.Actors

At first, other than Delia scratching Karen and the later heart attack of the preacher overseeing her baptism, all seems normal. But seven years later, after the Yorks adopt a rottweiler that they name Ryder, Delia (Asia Vieira) starts to display the traits and personality of an increasingly violent and manipulative sociopath. Furthermore, as the family doctor Hastings reveals that she is going through puberty, strange events begin to occur around Delia, including the death of the father of a boy whom she terrorized. Jo Thueson, a New Age practitioner hired by the Yorks as a nanny to help while Gene runs for the Senate, senses something suspicious about Delia after finding her healing crystals blackened by the girl's touch.

In this tragic tale of misunderstanding, obsession, and increasing madness, "Elle," a beautiful young woman (Isabelle Adjani) settles into a small town in the south of France with her introverted mother (Maria Machado) and physically handicapped father and soon becomes the subject of wild speculation because of her aloofness and at the same time, her obvious sexuality. The young woman is actually caught up in the desire to avenge the long-ago rape of her mother, a rape committed by three men who had arrived at her isolated house in a van which contained an old piano which they were delivering. A shy car mechanic (Alain Souchon) becomes enamored of her, and the woman suddenly sees him in a different light when she learns that his father, now dead, was an Italian immigrant who had owned and tried unsuccessfully to pawn the piano. Intent on taking action against the mechanic's family to right the wrong suffered by her mother, the daughter begins to lose her grip on sanity when she finds out that the men she suspects of the rape are actually innocent. In fact, her father had long ago exacted his own vengeance on the real culprits. This knowledge pushes her over the edge, and she has to be institutionalized. Meanwhile, the young mechanic misunderstands what happened and that leads to tragedy; he tracks down and kills the innocent men Elle had suspected of raping her mother, believing them to be responsible for Elle's current condition.
