SYNOPSIS
A young woman (I. Adjani) convinces her ex-prizefighter boyfriend to accept a bride to tell a lie that discredits a local politician. When the boyfriend is murdered, she is racked with guilt until she meets the killer (G. Depardieu) – a dead-ringer for the murdered man. The murderer is now in hiding from his former employees (who want to kill him too) and the police.
He accepts the woman’s need to « reinvent » him as her dead boyfriend – literally transforming his identity. But can love transform his soul as well?
