At the time of the Nazi Occupation, Fernand Le Bâtard, one of the
wealthiest men in France, lives amongst nuns at the Institut du Bon
Pasteur. From the age of eight, Fernand has been completely blind
and he has only one idea in his head: to find a woman so that he can at
last discover the pleasures of the flesh. As luck would have it,
his path crosses that of a murderer on the run, André Binet, who
will help to make his dream a reality, by taking him to a brothel run
by Lotte...
