Film Synopsis
Laurence Jeffries is a renowned neuro-psychiatrist. At his clinic
in Folkestone, he receives a new and interesting subject, a man who
knows nothing about his past. Unwittingly, the amnesiac is to
play a crucial part in a Machiavellian plot devised by Jeffries.
The latter knows that his wife Frances is having an affair with another
man, Paul Damien. Jeffies intends to convince his patient that
Damiens is responsible for the death of his one true love, thereby
programming him to seek revenge against a man he has never met.
It will be the perfect crime...
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
