Ismael's Ghosts

Synopsis

Having been in a two-year relationship with astrophysicist Sylvia, Ismaël Vuillard is working on a spy film inspired by the life of his brother, the elusive Ivan Dedalus. Suddenly, his wife, Clara Bloom, who disappeared without a trace 21 years earlier, resurfaces in his life. The shock is hard to take for the director, who’s now in his fifties.

But it’s even harder for Sylvia, especially when she realizes Clara wants her husband back.
