based on the life and writing of Katherine Mansfield
'Anytime one leaves anywhere, something precious, which ought not to be killed, is left to die.'
In February of 1915 Katherine Mansfield, a married women, travels to the French-German front - into a zone forbidden to women - to meet her lover, the French bohemian writer and front-soldier, Francis Carco.
Passion, danger and separation: An Indiscreet Journey.
This adaptation of Mansfield`s short story moves freely between reality and fantasy, placing one next to the other with the surreal logic of dreams.
