From Brian De Palma
With Rebecca Romijn, Antonio Banderas, Peter Coyote, Eriq Ebouaney
Laura Ash, a dark and venal young woman, doubles her accomplices during a hold-up committed in Cannes in the middle of the Festival. Followed to Paris, she takes on the identity of her perfect look, a young widow on the verge of suicide named Lily.
In the plane that takes her to New York, she seduces a quadrennial fringent who is none other than the US ambassador to France, Bruce Hewitt Watts. Seven years later, married, they appear on a magazine cover People.
But Laura's former acolytes, Black Tie and Racine, are still on his track, and the photo of the traitor, stolen by Nicolas Bardo, a paparazzi who works for the magazine in question, revives the infernal gear. Intrigued by Lily, he decides to follow her. Start a game of cat and mouse that will quickly prove dangerous to him.
