The Enchantment

One sunny day in Paris, Gustave Alland, famous artist and philanderer, visits Louise Strindberg – convalescing in her brother’s studio – and casts her effortlessly under his spell. In a vain attempt to escape, she exiles herself to her provincial hometown in Sweden. But a letter propels her back to Paris and into his arms. And for a brief moment, before the horror, ecstasy is hers.
