They lie around in their billions in the deeper part of the Pacific Ocean. They are called manganese nodules-and seldom can such dull-looking objects have excited so many scientists and businessmen or posed such a tricky problem for international law.

starring Isabelle Adjani , Bruce Robinson

When Lt Albert Pinson, an English officer, flirted with Victor Hugo 's daughter, Adele, during a stay in the Channel Islands, he little realised the passion he was unleashing.
Truffaut's film tells the true story of how Adele followed Pinson across the world, first to Nova Scotia and then to Barbados, where his regiment was subsequently posted. Her extravagant behaviour did little to endear her to Pinson and she eventually degenerated into complete madness.
