À Revers, rêvera

Synopsis

A technician welcomes a couple in a Parisian artist's studio. After several technical preparations, they are taking place to physically reproduce Magritte's painting "The Lovers" in order to serve as models for a painter. The artist begins to paint, revealing a blank canvas. He ends up putting down his brush, leaning over a mirror on the floor, deeply disturbed by the absence of his reflection in it. In the room, time now seems to be suspended.
