King of Camargue

In the sun‑kissed wetlands of the Camargue, life swirls around the annual Saintes‑Maries‑de‑la‑Mer festival, a carnival of color, music, and wandering souls. Amid the bustling stalls and salty breezes, a striking gypsy woman known only as the Queen appears, her eyes flashing like a sudden flame that seems to read the thoughts of anyone she meets. Young Livette, a shy farmhand with golden hair, discovers the Queen perched on her window‑sill, demanding a bottle of oil and promising a glimpse of Livette’s future. The encounter sets a tense, almost magical tone, as Livette’s ordinary chores are disrupted by this enigmatic stranger.

Livette is on the brink of marriage to Renaud, the most handsome drover in the region, and her family’s plans hinge on the land they tend. The Queen’s unsettling demand forces Livette to choose between simple honesty and the unsettling allure of a prophecy that could alter her destiny. As the festival’s revelry continues outside, the quiet farmhouse becomes a stage for a subtle battle of wills, hinting at deeper mysteries that lie beneath the tranquil Camargue landscape.
