An unconventional romantic comedy about a young American photographer and a French girl with a taste for the macabre.
Paul and Paulette's chance encounter on a Parisian boulevard sparks an unusual friendship that grows around a dark game; re-enacting scenes of notorious crimes from bygone eras at the sites they occurred. For Paul, the game is a way of getting closer to Paulette. For Paulette, it's a way of escaping a painful break-up with her girlfriend, and of processing her own inherited trauma.
As their morbid road trip approaches the more recent past it becomes more uncomfortable, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, but finding a surprising joy in the darker corners of humanity.
