However, he winds up trapped in the building' elevator and has to spend the night there. A psychosexual game begins in the morning when he meets Carole Valmer (German vocalist Ute Lemper), the woman who placed the ad. She leaves after telling him a repairman is coming. While she's out, he tries unsuccessfully to escape. By the second day, it becomes clear to Charles that she's keeping him trapped for her own amusement. Shown at 1997 film festivals (Cannes, Venice). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
