Plot Summary:
Narrated by a gory, blood-smeared, dying fish, the film begins with a graphic scene of the heroine, Bibi (Croze), getting an abortion. Bibi's guilt feelings are multiplied tenfold when on a rainy night soon thereafter, she accidentally hits a man and drives off, leaving him to die. Her sophisticated life as the successful owner of a chic boutique and heiress of a famous father's fortune begins to swiftly and spectacularly unravel. After she survives a suicide attempt, Bibi's guilt has still not been alleviated, and she decides to track down the body of the man she killed. At the morgue, she runs into the dead man's son, who asks her to stay with him while he sorts through his father's possessions. The son ends up falling in love with Bibi, but she remains consumed with guilt over what is now her terrible secret.
