A portrait of daily life in Cuba in the late 1990s,

Maria Garcia (Carmen Maura) is a television journalist and she's about to be a single mother. Her career foremost in her mind, she doesn't slow down even for a minute, despite her pregnancy. She is, however, taking Lamaze classes and is quite competently coping with the romantic attentions of a man she's not very interested in. It's not at all irrelevant that her news beat includes stories on terrorism, the greenhouse effect, pollution and genetic engineering, because when her baby's due date comes and goes, she starts hearing from her infant from in the womb. It is telling her that it and many other babies are refusing to be born into such a horrible world. She learns that this is true, and that the children born through induced labor are dying.

A passionate affair set against the intense encounter between a film-maker and a novelist. The story begins with young scriptwriter François tracking down the author of a once-scandalous novel. His aim is to adapt the work for the screen but several elements of the novel he finds difficult to comprehend. The author, Jeanne, is initially cautious of relaying information, insisting the presumably autobiographical book in no way relates to her personal life. However, eventually she takes the man into confidence to tell the background of Benvenuta.

A linha entre a fantasia e a realidade é, uma vez mais, turva neste drama belga / francês sobre um professor de literatura que desenvolve uma obsessão por uma mulher bonita que ele encontra (ou imagina que encontra) na floresta. Ele tem um caso com essa mulher, mas antes que ele possa fugir com ela, a sua filha, que é um objeto do seu desejo incestuoso (como várias sequências de devaneio deixam claro), mata a estranha. Talvez, porém, a sua filha só mate os devaneios dele quando ela se casar.
