Overview:

15th-century physician Robert Briand runs a leper colony that accepts new residents who suffer from the ravages of syphilis. When the beautiful Marie-Blanche is brought to the grim, prison-like facility, Briand finds she displays no apparent signs of disease. He risks everything when he falls in love with the woman and makes plans to run away with her.
