Based on a story by Julio Cortazar, Nina Grosse’s atmospheric film focuses on Julian, who lives in Paris with his lover and his bed-ridden mother. One morning he wakes up from a nightmare in which a woman was murdered by a man who looked just like himself. Gradually the dream begins to take over his life. This surreal and poetic film had a mixed reception in Germany, as did two more famous predecessors based on texts by Cortazar—Godard’s Weekend and Antonioni’s Blow-Up.
