This strange French-made melodrama did not receive an American release until some 10 years after its Paris premiere. In the desert town of Cicada (apparently in the US, though this is never stated), racial segregation is the rule. Richard, a white former paratrooper, falls in love with a
black woman (Bissainthe), setting off a chain of violent events.
