A woman married to an antique dealer in a small French town feels both happy and sad as her daughter Georgette gets ready to move to Paris. She and her husband work together to stop Georgette from marrying Henri, a man whose strange fixation on a bronze Venus statue could ruin the lives of all three people.

In the peaceful French countryside, Georgia is to marry Henri and leave for Paris. But a bronze statue of Venus, discovered beneath an olive tree, disturbs the wedding preparations. Whispers of its uncanny presence grow until, at the ceremony, it menaces the bride, leading to its destruction and leaving the family haunted by their brush with the supernatural.
