On the way to deliver an urgent letter, Walter Raim (Daniel Mesguich) saves an injured woman (Gabrielle Lazure) who's tied up in the middle of a desolate road. After spending a night of passion with her, Walter awakens to find her gone -- and himself with a bloody neck. But when he sets off in search of her, he becomes a suspect in her disappearance in this erotic tale that fuses sexual obsession with surreal visions of René Magritte paintings.
