He lives in his fantasies, she waits for the impossible. For a brief moment, their lonelinesses align.
One night in Paris, a young artist saves a girl on a bridge. They agree to meet for four nights in a row — just enough time for her to wait for her lover’s return. The dreamy hero falls in love and builds castles of words around her; she stays silent, holds back hope, barely meets his gaze. Bresson retells Dostoevsky, stripping away sentimentality and leaving only the light and silence they both share.
