Aging writer and philosopher, Z non Ligre, comes to Bruges using a false name and papers to serve as a physician to the poor, establishing a clinic and steam bath. His methods and opinions are outside the mainstream, but he has the protection and friendship of the local Prior. Z non, an aristocrat with a degree in canon law, lives humbly. He learns of bacchanals under Masonic signs involving monks and women, and he warns those involved. The Prior is dying, and he urges Z non to flee to England. Z non burns his writing. Will he leave or will he face ecclesiastical accusers and, perhaps, the stake? SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, ...The Abyss ( L'oeuvre au noir ) ( De terugkeer naar Brugge )
