Ariane lives in Simon's large Parisian apartment. He wants to know everything from her, follows her, has her accompanied for her trips and constantly interrogates her. Knowing her taste for women and her double life only exacerbates his suffering, his helplessness, and his desire for her.
Unfortunately the movie The Captive is not yet available on HBO Max.
