Story
The movie 'La captive' begins with Ariane and Simon meeting by the water. Simon becomes possessive of Ariane, separating her from her friends and confining her to his home with a room at the end of the hall and her own bathroom next door. He hires Andrée, one of Ariane's former friends, to watch over Ariane and report back to him about her actions. Andrée becomes an accomplice to Ariane, lying for her and potentially engaging in sexual relations together when the mood arises.
Summary
