An English historian John Locke (James Wilby) travels to Morocco to work on a study of the painter Delacroix. He’s in an isolated villa with Belkis, his enigmatic servant and concubine. He receives slides of erotic drawings that could be by Delacroix; an antique dealer, who’s a doctor and may be a white slave trader, says there are two such sketchbooks. By now, Locke’s dreams have become intense: they include sado-masochism with compliant young women and visions of a woman in white, who may be a nineteenth century woman executed for an affair with a Frenchman. She looks like a local actress. Against Belkis’s advice, Locke accepts various invitations. Aside from dreams and tableaux, will anything real happen?
