Almayer's Folly
La Folie Almayer
2012 · 2h 8m · Drama · Belgium, France · Rated U (FR)
In 1940s Malaysia, European merchant Kaspar Almayer is obsessed with finding a treasure to secure his daughter's future. His dreams fall victim to the pressure of his own greed, which becomes a torment. Compounding this is the oppressive English domination dominating the country – and that which brings ruin to the remote village where he lives.
