Walter is told by his boss, Sara, to deliver an urgent letter to Henri de Corinthe. On the way he finds a beautiful woman he had been eying in a nightclub, lying in the road, bound up. He takes her to a villa to get a doctor, and ends up being locked in a bedroom with her. While she is making love to him, he has visions of surrealistic images from René Magritte's paintings. In the morning, the girl, Marie-Ange, has vanished, the villa looks derelict, and his neck is bleeding. Was it all just a nightmare?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hallucinatory slip between desire and nightmare, where a man's encounter with a mysterious woman dissolves into disorienting surrealism. The film blurs dream logic with visceral dread, leaving you uncertain what was real.
