Synopsis:
A surreal film with a structure that is more dream-like than classically structured, examines the themes of memory, truth and reality. In a large, opulent, palace-like hotel, a handsome stranger approaches a woman, claiming to have met her before. In fact, they met exactly a year ago in Marienbad and arranged another meeting for this time. She claims that she doesn't remember him. Another man, her companion and maybe husband, deflects the first man's advances, outplaying him in small games...
