Romy Schneider plays a terminally ill "computer novelist" who reneges on an agreement to have her final days filmed for a reality TV show, unaware that her new friend (Harvey Keitel) is filming her with a camera embedded in his eyes. Tavernier's thoughtful sci-fi, filmed in Glasgow, is eerily prescient.
