Angelique, a young student, is in love with a married doctor. We see her attempts to make him leave his pregnant wife, but he does not appear for meetings or finally the booked journey to Florence. Then the movie is turned back to the beginning, and the view changes: We are now following the view of the doctor instead of Angeliques. And things look quite different now...
An off-kilter 'romance' with a wicked streak of dark humor.

A dazzling diversion with dark undertones.

The film is deft, delicious work, but a very different romantic fantasy than you probably expect.
