Marc and Emma are the epitome of young love, and they
can hardly wait to set up home in their
new house. What they don't know is that their house has a dark
secret. In the 1970s, the cellar served as a gay night club and
one fatal evening five men died in tragic circumstances. Not long
after moving into the house, Marc is disturbed by the ghosts of the
five disco dancing gay men. Emma in unable to see these
apparitions and becomes perturbed by her partner's increasingly
erratic behaviour. A psychoanalyst diagnoses Marc's visions as
the product of latent homosexual tendencies. When Emma leaves him, the five gay
ghosts decide to come to Marc's rescue...

The best of American film noir
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
