Description
A man with a possessed look on his face runs brandishing a knife behind a woman as she rushes toward a baby lying on the ground. Above them floats a wrathful figure holding in her hand two translucent threads which bind the couple to her, as a star shines harshly in the background.
The caption reads in the original French: La mauvaise étoile.
