Synopsis
Paris, summer 1957. Anne Goupil, a young student with a passion for theatre, meets through her brother a director, Gérard Lenz, who is rehearsing Shakespeare's Pericles and offers her a role. Going in search of a piece recorded by Juan, a Spanish musician who we don't know if he committed suicide or if he was murdered, and whom Lenz wants to make the main music of the piece, Anne crosses paths with road of a motley group of individuals and enters through them in a dark and labyrinthine investigation. Among them, Philip Kaufman, an American journalist in exile and Terry, a strange and tough woman. Both Philip and Terry speak of a "global conspiracy" as total as it is invisible, as ruthless as it is dark.
