Coffin Island - Season 1 (1979)

1916: at the Besançon war hospital, nurse Véronique d'Hergemont has just been informed of the death of her husband, from whom she has been separated for 14 years. She had married the latter against the wishes of her father, who considered Count Vorski as an adventurer unworthy of her. What Véronique had quickly understood. Following a terrible tragedy, she had separated from him definitively. Véronique will find herself drawn into a dark and mysterious affair, after a film screening intended to change her mind but which disturbs her deeply: on the screen appear her ...

During the crossing that takes her to the Thirty Coffins Island, Véronique learns that her father had faked a shipwreck in order to kidnap her grandson from Vorski, whom he hated. It was Honorine who raised François. This reveals to Véronique the identity of the corpse and the prediction attached to it: the death of the count... Then that of all the inhabitants of the island. Shortly after, d'Hergemont gets killed in cold blood by a 14-year-old child. Wouldn't it be François, the murderer, heir to the instincts of his father Vorski, and who fled with an accomplice? ...

The inhabitants of the island, wishing to flee, have piled into two large boats, when a man and a teenager, in a canoe, throw bombs at the sinking boats. Véronique and the three Archignat sisters remain on the island; the threat of the druids becoming clearer, Véronique takes refuge on a separate part of the island, connected by a bridge which she burns. Once the flames are extinguished she observes, horrified, that, on the island, the Archignat sisters are crucified, on three trees.
