At the cinema Jacques is watching a film called ‘Rendez-vous de Minuit’ starring Lilli Palmer and Maurice Ronet. Eva, a young woman next to him, becomes emotional and rushes out of the cinema. Concerned, Jacques goes after her and she explains that her life is following the pattern of the film’s heroine and that she is to commit suicide as the character does on screen.
