At 70, John lives in luxury on the Côte d’Azur, haunted by memories—or fantasies—of his 1960s spy days. When a mysterious woman vanishes, reality fractures into flashbacks of villains, femmes fatales, and cinematic mayhem. Blending Eurospy homage with playful gore, this surreal tale blurs memory, madness, and movie magic in a twisting search for truth.
