A well-to-do businessman gets into a stretch limo and sets out to keep a series of appointments. That much of the movie is simple. It's in the nature of the appointments that things get strange. Real strange. The appointments take place all over Paris, and it's never entirely clear what they're supposed to signify, or what's going on. But you never know what to expect in them, either, any more than you could predict the course of a dream. There's a direct reference to Georges Franju's "Eyes Without a Face" in the casting of Edith Scob as the limousine driver, and, this being a Leos Carax film, the guy keeping all the appointments is Denis Lavant.
