Charles Cuvelier answers an ad for a luxury
apartment to rent - "suitable for a single professional
man without a dog". He is a 50 year old highly successful
advertising executive, he understands better than most how
to juggle with people's desires, dreams and frustrations,
but a small insignificant event is sufficient to destroy his
life. He finds himself trapped in a rift between the third
and fourth floors of the building. This "technical fault"
has in fact been planned by a beautiful, mysterious woman
who lives in one of the apartments.
The woman, who refuses to gain help for Charles, begins to
play a dark and mysterious game with him. Day after day after
day he is spied on, manipulated and mentally tormented by
the woman. He must fight back in order to survive, but finds
that all his clever words and persuasive powers are useless.
Will he lose the game and his identity wit it, or will she,
who appears to be the manipulator, end up being the manipulated
one…
