A curse hangs over the Saint Lambert family: all descendants are doomed to die at thirty-five years old. A journalist and his wife go to the castle of a friend, the Count of Lambert, and reveal the secret. A classic Gothic horror from the seventies, with some sexy implications. Boring and not scary at all.
