Bluebeard, a rich and powerful man, marries a young girl, Ariane, who becomes his seventh wife. One day he leaves on a journey and he forbids Ariane to enter in his secret room while he is away… This cruel and spectacular story, based on the psychotic main character (within a heavy sexual dimension), privileges an equivocal image of the serial killer before his time: the man is at the same time seductive, fascinating and terrifying. An additional dimension is added to his horrifying behaviour which partly explains his morbid mania to keep the corpses of his previous wives : Bluebeard's secret cabinet room, which was called "a curiosity cabinet" in the 18th century. This implies a kind of personal museum of collected weird objects, relevant for the natural history or for the cryptozoology. The real heroine in this story is Ariane, his young wife. She accomplishes a preparatory circuit that will take away her first innocence.
