Regular Rivette actress Bulle Ogier stars as Marie, a claustrophobic ex-con who, shortly after wandering into Paris, encounters the wild and potentially troubled young woman Baptiste (Pascale Ogier, Bulle's actual 22-year-old daughter). Baptiste, a knife-wielding, self-proclaimed karate expert with a drive to slash the eyes from faces in adverts (including, in one instance, those on a placard for Akira Kurosawas 'Kagemusha'), accompanies Marie on her quest to solve the mystery behind the contents of her former lover's (Pierre Clementi's) suitcase: an amalgam of clippings, patterns, and maps of Paris that points to a vastly unsettling labyrinth replete with signs and intimations whose menacing endgame remains all too unclear.
