“I came looking for you because you touched my heart.” – Blanche
Lucas de Bonneval (Jacques Dutronc) is an inventor of a computer language that went
recognized in Europe after developing it for six years but he also got a
terminal illness in the brain and gave all of his wealth to his
assistant/friend instead. He met a woman in pain, Blanche (Sophie Marceu) and fell in love with
her.
Lucas followed where Blanche is working. Blanche is a psychic in a
casino but have no idea when it gets into her and gets naked when not
controlled.
Lucas have to mention random things for him to remember because
his brain is failing to recognize even the most simplest of things due to his
illness. It also came to the point where Blanche taught Lucas was making a fool
out of her because of the things that he is saying and it made her run mad.
They argued but forget each other and said that they should not argue anymore.

Both of them have a sad past; Lucas saw how his father drowned his
mother and himself in a pond and Blanche was abused by his father when she was
young.
Blanche’s company uses drugs. She has a husband even if she loves
Lucas. She married her husband at such a young age.
Blanche also mentioned that she only wants to have a sex whenever
she is “unhappy”.

In the end, the two committed suicide (though it was not shown) by
drowning their selves in the sea. Blanche guessed earlier about how Lucas will
die. She said that he will die happy and it happened because they died
together.
When I first watched the film, I was so confused. The movie was
filled with weirdness but is intriguing at the same time. Maybe my
understanding is too shallow for this kind of movie. I enjoyed it anyway. Sophie
Marceau is so beautiful and her acting skill was so great and complemented the
way Jacques Dutronc acts. I think one of
the reasons why the film confused me was because of the transitions and the way
they speak. The shots were changed in a snap which confuses me visually and I
get lost with what they are saying even if there is a subtitle.
