Adèle Hugo, Isabelle Adjani is at the center of a quiet, unsettling drama set in 1863 Halifax, where the shadow of war touches the everyday. British troops patrol the harbor and carefully check European travelers stepping ashore, while Adèle—traveling under the name Miss Lewly—arrives and finds a place at a modest boarding house run by Mr. Saunders and Mrs. Saunders. Her arrival is the spark that sets off a chain of longing, secrecy, and mounting tension as she pens her thoughts in a private journal and pursues a relationship that she believes will redeem a life lived under a complicated family shadow.
