In 5th-century Gaul, shepherd Céladon falls in love with Astrée. Falsely believing that Céladon has been unfaithful to her, Astrée banishes him from her sight. Céladon throws himself into the river, but he is saved by a nymph. Céladon tries to meet Astrée again.

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 67% based on 42 reviews, with an average rating of 6.11/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "A disappointing melodrama with a pedestrian script and direction."[4]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "it is a quietly delightful film, that calmly puts its faith in poetry and idealism; it is performed with serene confidence and poise, and succeeds in being gently affecting, mysterious and often erotic."[5]
