A hushed, unsettling fairy tale that drifts between two eras, watching curiosity and dread slowly tighten around you.

Marie-Catherine dreams of marrying into money, and soon falls for wealthy divorcé Bluebeard. Grateful for the chance at a life of comfort, Marie-Catherine marries Bluebeard — in spite of rumors that he has made a hobby of murdering his wives.
