A wealthy businessman living on the island of La Reunion orders a bride by mail and receives--instead of his intended--a beautiful, mysterious woman with a flimsy excuse. He marries the imposter anyway, but his dream life is shattered when the woman absconds with his bank account and leads him into a murky drama of missing persons and murder.
Ultimately, this strange tale transforms into a surprisingly powerful adult love story, in which both participants find themselves able to forgive each other`s failings and transgressions -- allowing them to move forward without regret, or undue fear of what the future might hold. In the film`s finale, Truffaut returns to the same barren, snowbound cabin that he used to such great effect in Shoot the Piano Player, only this time the results are substantially less fatalistic.
