About

Artist Antoine has lost all inspiration and slipped into alcoholism since the death of his wife Irène, a loss he blames himself for. Suzanne is a penniless sideshow performer pretending to be a clairvoyant, whom Antoine consults in a bid to connect with Irène. Antoine’s dealer Armand, desperate to keep Antoine from falling apart, urges Suzanne to keep the ruse alive. She stages a series of improvised hypnosis sessions, claiming she can channel Irène in exchange for having her debts paid by Armand.

Dusty sideshow tents and the hazy fog of grief collide in this melancholic look at a broken artist seeking ghosts through a fraudulent medium. This absurd yet tender charade offers a sharp lens on how we use superstition to mend our most jagged wounds.
