Based on Don DeLillo’s acclaimed novella “The Body Artist”, the film swirls around a self-centered filmmaker (Mathieu Amalric) who, while attending a museum retrospective of his work, wanders into an adjoining gallery and becomes mesmerized by a beautiful young performance artist (Julia Roy).
The two fall madly in love and embark on a wild and delirious affair. Living together in Rey’s secluded seaside estate, the lovers believe they have found eternal bliss. Months later, Rey dies in a tragic accident, leaving Laura alone in the house by herself… or so she thinks.
