Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In the near future, leftist writer Paula goes from Paris to the French town of Atlantic-Cité when she learns of the death of a former colleague and lover, Richard P. Is she there to investigate? On the surface, faces are beautiful, colors bright, clothes trendy. Beneath, little is clear: some talk to Paula as if she's Alice in Wonderland, corpses pile up, and ideological struggles insert themselves. A murder victim's nephew and a political party's hired hands hover around Paula. Is obscuring things her goal or is it life that's obscure?

| Quotes |
Marianne Faithfull:
It is the evening of the day / I sit and watch the children play / Smiling faces I can see / But not for me / I sit and watch / As tears go by / My riches can't buy everything / I want to hear the children sing / All I hear is the sound / Of rain falling on the ground / I sit and watch / As tears go by / It is the evening of the day / I sit and watch the children play / Doing things I used to do / They think are new / I sit and watch / As tears go by See more » |
