Film Synopsis

At the wedding of two of his friends, an architect becomes depressed.  In his dreams, he sees the image of the ideal young woman who tells him her name: Sylviane.  Whilst on holiday in Portugal, he meets a young French woman who resembles the girl of his dream and promptly marries her.  But he realises too soon that his relationship with her bares scant resemblance to what he has dreamed.
