Dusoleil daydreams about the beautiful Issobelle who is kept locked away by her husband the Chief Prosecutor. Then Dusoleil discovers that he can walk through walls. He uses this ability to rob the rich and give to the poor. He gives his robber self the name Passepartout. With this ability he gets to see Isabelle. But Dusoleil is discovered and put on trial. Isabelle testifies that her husband collaborated with the Nazis and Dusoleil is pardoned. Suffering from a headache he was given aspirin by his doctor and has taken them. The aspirin affect his ability which he looses whilst halfway through a walk - where he gets stuck forever. | |||||

For fifteen years, his one friend and soulmate has been Helen, from whom he has been physically separated for the majority of their affair. Journalist Erik Larsen arrives to interview Znorko about his latest book, which is, in fact, a transcript of correspondence between the author and Helen. As Larsen seeks to unmask the identity of Helen, Znorko becomes infuriated. Evasions and lies twist into increasingly complex puzzles. Is Larsen really a journalist? Is it possible that both Znorko and Larsen love the same woman? Is Helen still alive? Slowly the barriers between the two men begin to fall as the profound mysteries of intimacy rise in their place. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Cocteau, Les Parents Terribles | |||||
Synopsis: | In this personal favorite of the French master, a young man bursts to tell his parents that he has met the love of his life and intends to marry her. His mother is devastated by the news, while his father harbors a secret about the new girlfriend that could destroy them all. Torn between love and resentment for an undeserving family she supports, the sage and spinster aunt attempts to create some order out of this mess. This crackling farce satirizes the pretensions of bourgeois bohemians and a mother who dotes on her son, perhaps, a bit too much. | |||||
