Transposed here into flow my tears this liberal said * *2016 we see echoes of and shadows upon todays utterly absurdist world. As  a man leaves a woman he loves to make alcohol, in the name of and in devotion to, a super natural being he worships,  and to live strictly in the company of men.

In 2016 we see reason cast aside in the most vulgar reactionary, mob lurch into a past that never even existed, a media and a populace where, racism, sexism and bigotry are accepted into regular daily discourse more than ever in generations. science and evidence is reduced by equivalence with superstition, conspiracy and pseudoscience.

 

Trappist monk Boris Androvski (Charles Boyer) feels enormous pressure at having to keep his vows as a monk, so he flees his monastery. Yet he is the only one who knows the secret recipe of the monastery's famous liqueur, a recipe passed down from one generation of monks to another. Meanwhile, heiress Domini Enfilden (Marlene Dietrich) is newly freed from her own prison of caring for her just-deceased father and also seeks the exotic open spaces of the North African desert to nurture her soul.

 

Androvski and Domini meet, fall in love, and are married by the local priest, after which the newlyweds are whisked off into the scorching desert – a trip that the local sand diviner has forecast will bring happiness and a bad end. Domini is unaware of Androvski's past as a monk.

 

When a lost patrol of French legionnaires finds its way into camp, one of their number recognizes the liqueur he is served. Boris' true identity is revealed. But it is not until he is rejected by his wife for breaking his final vows to God to live as a monk does Boris decide to return to the monastery, parting from his wife.
