"A shy, unpopular high school science teacher (Isabelle Huppert) struggles to control her rowdy classroom. Then, working on an experiment in her laboratory late one night, she's struck by lightning. She wakes up the next morning feeling decidedly different--the accident has transformed her into the dangerously unpredictable Mrs. Hyde."--Container

French farm girl Camille is awaiting news of her husband, who is fighting at the front. After she receives an enigmatic letter ending their relationship, she dresses up as a boy and joins a wandering regiment in search of her estranged love. Skirting the edges of battlefields, the platoon haunts the screen like shell-shocked specters, awakening for four uncannily beautiful musical numbers played on homemade string instruments.
