In the film Indochine‚ before Camille’s wedding‚ there is a shot of both Eliane and Camille sitting on a bench in front of a lotus lake in the Hue temple.

It may be a sin‚ but it can grant great freedom. Equality 7-2521 sinned. He re-created electricity and made the mistake of showing his invention to the council. But‚ instead of destroying the contraption like the council demanded‚ he took off into the Unmarked forest. Strangely‚ he did not feel like he did anything wrong.
