[edit] Plot
Laura Bartelli is a stripper in a French sleaze bar. It's a world of cheap expectation and tawdry dreams - and Laura's own fantasies materialise one night when a moody landscape architect named Marco Tisserand asks her to abandon her life and share his. It's too good to be true, but she goes with the hope and takes off. However, after her red VW runs off the road en route to the rendezvous and she ends up scarred and comatose in a hospital.
After some months, she awakens in a world of silence and gradually begins her new life with Marco, which is filled with affection and tenderness. She begins to love herself as much as she loves Marco. They have a son, Jeannot. Laura's deafness is more an irritation than an impediment and six years dissolve agreeably. However, when Jeannot displays an unusual dysfunction at school, her fairytale life shears into frog-and-prince territory. In Lyon and Marseilles, she discovers curious evidence that Marco is not what - or who - he appears to be which leads to a chilling ending.
