Vagabonds imaginaires
Young man (segment 'The drunken boat')
Jean-Louis Barrault, Charles Dullin and Roger Blin each say a poem. The actors do not appear on screen.
Maya
Scenario Writer
Based on a venerable Legend of the Sea, the story concerns a pliable prostitute named Bella (Romance) who is all things to all men. No matter what sort of woman her client wants, she will become that woman -- at least for the night. When a middle-aged man named Jean insists that Bella is his long-lost sweetheart, she plays along, hoping to escape her sordid lifestyle. The emotional tragedy that follows is meant to explain how Bella became "Maya," the living embodiment of Lost Souls.
