Film Synopsis
Esther is an aspiring writer who is trying, in vain, to get her first
novel published. A Parisian 30-something, she is about to get
married to David, a doctor who cannot help flirting with younger
women. Unaware that David has started to have an affair with her
best friend, Maya, Esther begins to have second thoughts about the
marriage. On the advice of her friend, she consults a fortune
teller who reveals that she will soon meet a new lover. Sure
enough, not long afterwards Esther runs into her childhood friend Adam
and immediately falls in love with him. It helps that he works
for a publishing house...
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
