On the day she celebrates her birthday, Jeanne, a young actress, is told by her mother her father is an Indian she once met on the banks on the river Ganges. From then on, Jeanne acts with singleness of purpose: she leaves the rehearsal of the the play "Sainte Jeanne des Abattoirs" she had wanted so much to be in, accepts a shameful role in a poor movie just for the money, buys an air ticket and flies to India, where she both hopes and fears to meet her biological father... Written by Guy Bellinger

An engaging and inward-turning, semi-autobiographical film by director Hugo Santiago uses music (mostly tangos) to underscore the angst of life in exile and features a plot that cleverly leaves viewers in the dark about what will happen next. Fabian Cortes (Rodolfo Mederos) is a celebrated master of the tango who lives a good life outside of Spain but still misses his homeland, and in spite of the Franco government and its unjust repression of certain kinds of people, Fabian wants to return home.

In this whimsical fable, Resnais deftly interweaves three story lines: the creation of an early-20th-century utopia; romantic high jinks at a school conference; and a fantasy sparked by F/X pioneer Georges Méliès.
