Film Synopsis

In the throes of an amorous disappointment, Agnès leaves her home in France and heads for Spain.  In a Mediterranean town, she occupies herself by redecorating the house of a man named Zaylor, near a village inhabited by wealthy expatriates.  On the road that leads to the villa in which she rents a room Agnès notices a man who is behaving aggressively to anyone he encounters.  The man, Daniel, directs her to the villa, where she receives an icy reception from Felix and Chesco, the guards.  Among the guests Agnès meets here are Annabel, a strangely disturbing woman, and Rik, a wealthy Don Juan.  Agnès then learns that Daniel is suspected of having murdered his wife during a boat trip with Pedro, Rik's brother.  Far from being afraid of Daniel, Agnès begins to develop an acute fascination for the man who has been rejected by the entire community.  Convinced of Daniel's innocence, she sets out to uncover the truth but soon discovers that some mysteries are best left unresolved...
