The Widow of Saint-Pierre (2000) (original) (raw)
Madame La lives in marital bliss on the island of Saint-Pierre with her loving, oddball husband, simply called "the Captain" by his charges. Their world is upset one night, however, when two visiting sailors on a bender murder a local citizen. Neel is sentenced to death, but the other one dies in a carriage accident before reaching prison. As the island waits for a guillotine (or "widow") to be shipped from the French government, Madame La does her best to convince the townspeople that Neel is genuinely good of heart and doesn't deserve a bloody fate.
