SYNOPSIS :
Bluebeard brings Judith, his new bride, to a remote castle. There are no
windows, only seven locked doors. Bluebeard tells her that no one must see
what lies behind them. She asks that the doors be opened to let in air and
sunlight. He opens the first door, revealing a torture chamber. Judith is
unafraid and asks Bluebeard to let her open the second door. Behind it, she
finds his armory, its weapons covered in blood.
In the third room, she sees mountains of gold and gems, all stained with
blood. The fourth door reveals the castle's secret garden, its flowers
speckled with blood. He tells her not to question him and bids her open the
fifth door to fill the castle with light. Through the fifth door, Judith
sees Bluebeard's vast kingdom, but soon a cloud casts a blood-red shadow
over the radiant landscape.
Two doors are still unopened. He says they must remain so, but she again
resists. Bluebeard lets her open the sixth door. Behind it lies a tranquil
lake, filled with tears. Bluebeard warns her that the last door must stay
shut forever. She demands that it be opened. In the final chamber are the
ghosts of his former wives, whom she joins.
