The Dame in Color (French: La Dame en couleurs) is a 1985 Canadian drama film directed by Claude Jutra. It was entered into the 14th Moscow International Film Festival.
La Dame en couleurs is set in an insane asylum administered by nuns. Into this harsh place is dumped a truckload of children who soon find an entrance to a long-forgotten underground passage beneath the hospital. There, free from the strict control of the nuns, the children can let their imaginations run free, creating a mystical world of primitive mysteries and cult-like rites.
