多年以后，苏珊和她的两个孩子意外地出现在她姐姐珍妮的家中。起初看起来像是苏珊在试探性地试图重新与姐姐建立关系。但随着晨光的出现，这种幻觉破灭了：苏珊消失了……内森·安布罗西奥尼的这部亲密电影，描绘了一位被迫成为母亲的女人，而她对自己的孩子几乎一无所知。他那极简主义的叙事方式，却充满了深刻的共情，让观众得以观察这个新生家庭逐渐凝聚的缓慢过程，以及他们内心的恐惧与犹豫，还有那毫无效率的国家机器的荒谬之处。这是一部法国电影，它反映了因必要性而产生的共同生活本质的脆弱性，以及当它源于爱时，它会变得多么强大。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
