The Damned (Là-Bas) follows Durtal, a spiritually-sensitive man who is writing a biography of Gilles de Rais, the fifteenth-century child-murderer, and supposed model for "Bluebeard." Bored by the bourgeois banality of his age, Durtal seeks spiritual intensity by immersing himself in another age. Madame Chantelouve draws him into the underground world of Satanism in fin-de-siècle Paris, where, in the heart of darkness, he starts to see the light.
