Description:

In the rich and cultured world of Belle Époque France, we embark on a thought-provoking journey centered around the life of an eighteen-year-old woman named Augustine. Diagnosed with 'hysteria,' she finds herself under the watchful eye of Professor Charcot, who subjects her to various hypnosis experiments in pursuit of scientific understanding. As we delve deeper into Augustine's story, we witness a profound transformation - she shifts from being a mere subject of academic interest to becoming the center of another kind of fascination entirely: desire. This poignant narrative explores the complex interplay of power dynamics, sexuality, and societal expectations as they collide with medical advancement during an era of great change.
