This story tells us about a Monk, Boris Androvsky (Charles Boyer) who makes excellent wine as a Monk and gets a taste of the outside world and women and just up and leaves the church and his Holy Order, disobeying God completely. Boris Androvsky meets up with a woman, Domini Enfiden, (Marlene Dietrich)on a train and notices that Boris does not even speak to her in the compartment on the train or even look at her. Domini is heart broken about her father dying after she devoted her entire life to his care until he died. Domini is advised by a priest to go to the desert and try to find herself and she meets up with Boris and gets deeply involved with him, but Boris never tells her about his past or reason for running to the desert himself. John Carradilne,(Sand diviner) is a fortune teller with the use of sand and foretells only the future and no past; he tells her that she will be happy and then something tragic will happen to her. Basil Rathbone,(Count Ferdinand Anteoni) gives a great supporting role and is also a great admirer of Domini. There is some very great love scenes which are spoken in deep love and also a great deal of Pain.
