Night Terrors

In the Eighteenth Century, the cruel Marquis De Sade is tortured by the king's order after being betrayed by his mistress. In the present days (1993), the American Eugenie "Genie" arrives in Alexandria after her graduation in engineering to visit her father, the pious archaeologist Dr. Matteson. On the streets, Genie meets the free-spirited Sabina that introduces her to the Marquis de Sade's novel and to a world of free sex and drugs. After Genie's sexual experience with the local Mahmoud, Sabina takes her to a party where she meets Paul Chevalier, who is descendant of the Marquis De Sade and leads a cult of followers. He recognizes Genie as descendant of the mistress that reported the Marquis De Sade to the king, and promises to degrade her.
