Death of Albine

Albine is bereft and heartbroken after she is abandoned by her lover. Tearing flowers, almost in a frenzy, from the garden where they consummated their love, she creates what will become her deathbed. As she lies amongst the petals, she suffocates on their overwhelming perfume and thus embraces her death. Inspired by the French novel La Faute de l'Abbé Mouret (The Sin of Father Mouret, or The Sinful Priest) by Émile Zola.
