Long synopsis : Paris, early 20th century. Suzanne, a penniless sideshow performer, ends up pretending to be a clairvoyant for Antoine, a painter who has lost all inspiration and slipped into alcoholism since the death of his wife Irène, a loss he blames himself for. His art dealer, Armand, desperate to keep Antoine from falling apart, urges Suzanne to keep the ruse alive. She stages a series of improvised hypnosis sessions, claiming she can channel Irène in exchange for having her debts paid by Armand. What begins as a clumsy trick slowly creates an unexpected bond between Suzanne and Antoine.
