Cocktail in hand, sun in his face, and the sparkling sea before his eyes. Former spy John D. is enjoying his retirement in an upscale hotel on the Côte d’Azur. When his seductive next-door neighbor suddenly disappears, John is confronted with the specters of his past. Are his erstwhile enemies back to disrupt his idyllic life? The lines between dream and reality, past and present blur, not only in terms of plot. Inspired by the Eurospy and Giallo films of the 1970s, Cattet and Forzani have created a breathtaking sequence of scenes that keeps us on the edge of our seats until the brilliantly executed finale.
