What happens

The Iron Rose (French: La rose de fer, also known as The Crystal Rose) is a 1973 French horror drama film directed by Jean Rollin, and starring Françoise Pascal, Hugues Quester, Nathalie Perrey, Mireille Dargent, and Michel Dalessalle. It was his first film not to feature vampires, a theme for which he was best known, but it still features all the dream-like qualities associated with his films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
