An engaged-to-be-married but duplicitous young man in Paris tries to track down a former lover but despite gaining access to her apartment and at times getting so close to her he can hear and even smell her, his efforts are repeatedly thwarted; it isn't until much further into this twisty, turny, and quite convoluted 1996 romantic mystery, one that is at times distinctly Hitchcockian and at others very 'Polanski', that the mystery of the lover's elusiveness is made clear.
