Alexandre, 27, is a dope chemist. He is wounded by gunshot in a settling of scores among dealers. To escape from the police, he retreats to an isolated castle inside which a strange scene unfolds: a middle-aged man, Clément, is having dinner with a gorgeous young woman, Aurore. Clément films Aurore in the cumbersome silence. Both are dressed up in a peculiar way. The spectacle Alexandre witnesses is eerie – as if time were standing still.
Surprisingly, Clément offers to hide Alexandre from the police until he recovers from his injury. What lies behind this man’s sudden burst of generosity?
Alexandre is plunged into the intimacy of this uncanny couple. Clément, who longs to be a filmmaker, strives to pen the greatest love story ever written: The Doll. Clad in the attire of legendary movie characters, Aurore spends most of her days acting out the scenes written by Clément – who films her constantly. The rest of the time, she wanders through the castle like a ghost. Her piercing eyes gleam spookily as she speaks only in iconic film quotes.
Alexandre is baffled by his two hosts and their pernicious relationship, but his injury and his status as a fugitive force him to cohabit with them. He finds Aurore’s beauty and mysterious ways very appealing; but Clément’s attitude, in turn moving and terrifying, mystifies him. Why does Aurore live as a recluse in the attic when she could choose any room in the castle? What motives lie behind the sinister demeanor of Clément, who carries a dagger with him at all times? Who is Aurore? Clément’s muse? Or his victim?
Until the day when the horrendous, the monstrous truth is revealed.
Until Clément, Aurore, and Alexandre are drawn into a deadly round.
Suffused with the magic of cinema, this powerful tale of glamour and suspense is both chilling and thrilling.
