Elizabeth sends telegrams to her old boyfriend Ben in New York City and to her younger sister Leo in Rome to join her in Paris, where she is selling her dead father's estate. When Ben and Leo arrive, a mysterious adventure begins.
What is the "mysterious adventure"? No one knows for sure. The film is somewhat surreal, with a blend of French and English, and the occasional group of jazz musicians thrown in for no apparent reason other than to add something artsy to this art film.
Star Maria Schneider became famous for portraying Jeanne opposite Marlon Brando in Bernardo Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris" (1972); and the Girl in Michelangelo Antonioni's "The Passenger" (1975), opposite Jack Nicholson. So, depending on how you look at it, she was coming off some big successes, or on her way out. She is playing opposite Joe Dallesandro, who may be a major cult figure (given his connections to Warhol, the Rolling Stones and Lou Reed) but is not a household name.
