A large room, a lonely pianist, a mysterious presence and the world outside, within lonely streets, around a swimming pool, along a river, still her, still her.
Empty memories of a love story. An assiduous game of mirrors awaits the man, especially since a strange woman knocks on his door, all too similar to the soul that dwells in his house.
