Intrigue

A Parisian café owner believes her long-lost husband has returned but the man suffers from amnesia.

Thérèse Langlois, who runs a small café in the suburbs of Paris, lives alone, awaiting her long lost husband. One day she thinks she recognizes him in a tramp walking past her establishment. It must be said that her spouse has not shown any signs of life ever since he had disappeared during the World War Two. Because the stranger has lost his memory, Thérèse tries hard to stir up memories in him but she fails. Is the stranger really the man of her life? Anyway, the tramp disappears once more. Alone again, Thérèse still hopes he will come back.—Guy Bellinger

A woman thinks she recognizes her husband, disappeared after being arrested 16 years before and tortured by the Gestapo, before being deported into a camp. She patiently follows the homeless, amnesiac man, hoping to bring back his memories. A scar on his skull suggests he might have been lobotomized. She presses on. Overwhelmed of what is asked of him, the man runs away. Will he ever remember her?
