The image is instant. It whirs out of the camera and they
all watch it develop in silence. "Here." He gives the
photograph to the perfect flawless woman without looking at
it, by way of apology. When everyone gathers around Luciana
to admire it, Gustav clicks again. The unloved look
brave. The unloved look heavier than the loved. Their
eyes are sadder but their thoughts are clearer. They are not
concerned with pleasing or affirming their loved one's point
of view. The unloved look preoccupied. The
unloved look impatient.
A group of hedonistic
tourists--from Algeria, England, Poland, Germany, Italy,
France, and America--gathers to celebrate the holidays in a
remote French chateau. Then a woman is brutally murdered,
and the sad, eerie child Tatiana declares she knows who did
it. The subsequent inquiry into the death, however, proves
to be more of an investigation into the nature of identity,
love, insatiable rage, and sadistic desire. The
Unloved offers a bold and revealing look at some of the
events that shaped European and African history, and the
perils of a future founded on concealed truth.
