In 1895 in Bruges, Belgium, Paul mourns the death of his saintly young wife, Marie. His friend Frank urges Paul to move on with his life, but Paul insists that Marie “still lives,” and that he has in fact met her on the street. This eerie look-alike is Marietta, a coquettish dancer, who follows Paul back to his home and, in spite of his odd behavior, attempts to seduce him in this concert version of Erich and Julius Korngold’s psychological thriller.
