Work Information

A meeting born from loneliness draws Antoine toward the border between love and crime.

Antoine Bourjois is a composer newly arrived in Paris. Hoping to break his loneliness, he answers a personal advertisement and meets Lea Jacquemont, to whom he is quickly drawn. Around her are the young girl Lili, Le Rouquin, the menacing Julien, and a respectable-looking antiques shop that hints at hidden activity. The romance gradually moves toward danger and buried secrets, combining emotional urgency with the tension of crime fiction.

Review Summaries

  • Commentary on the film adaptation treats the source story as moving between police fiction, adventure, and a thriller with uncanny overtones. It suggests material with striking scenes as well as an intentionally uneasy structure.
