Jeanne, who once wrote a sensational love story of a young pianist on a concert tour of Italy where she meets a handsome older magistrate, now lives as a recluse in Ghent. She receives a visit from François, a young screenwriter adapting the story. He wants to fill out the script with details. Jeanne first refuses to identify herself with the main characters Benvenuta and Livio, whom she insists are purely fictional. But François is determined to find out the truth that lies beneath the fiction. Based on the novel La confession anonyme by Suzanne Lilar, with leading parts for Fanny Ardant, Vittorio Gassman, Mathieu Carrière and the music of Frederic Devreese.
