Guillaume et les sortilèges (2007)
Directed by Pierre Léon

Drama

Film Synopsis

One July, Guillaume arrives in Paris to take charge of a large apartment until the end of the summer.  The owner, Lucie, a friend of his mother's, gives him a cursory welcome before suddenly disappearing.  A kettle whistles in the kitchen, a delivery man turns up with groceries that no one appears to have ordered.  And then the household suddenly comes to life.   Guillaume decides to take things as they come.  Strange visitors appear and disappear like phantoms, some amusing, some annoying, some distinctly frightening.  Then a man named Pentecost comes to Guillaume's aid.  Although Pentecost is reassuring and friendly, Guillaume soon realises that he is not here to please him.  Just what is going on...?
