In Paris, 1928, young painter Antoine Balestro mourns the death of his wife Irène, which he blames himself for and which has caused him to lose his motivation to paint. Having turned to alcohol, he attempts to contact his wife through a psychic one night. A young carnival worker named Suzanne, who has only snuck into the trailer to steal food, pretends to be a clairvoyant for Antoine. Antoine’s art dealer, Armand, is desperate to have his client continue painting so he convinces Suzanne to keep up the act in exchange for paying her debts. She begins staging improvised séances for Antoine where she pretends to channel Irène. As Antoine gradually improves, Suzanne finds herself falling in love with the man she is manipulating.
