Summary
In the dimly lit streets of a bustling market, a modest coffee stall keeper named Lionel d'Aragon toils under the watchful eye of his wife, Chrissie White, whose mind is haunted by a chilling premonition: she envisions Lionel rendered blind, stumbling through ash and flame, his life extinguished in a sudden inferno. The narrative unfurls as her anxieties intensify, each ordinary interaction tinged with an ominous foreboding, while the surrounding characters—Frank Stanmore's sardonic friend, Campbell Gullan's stoic patron, Mary Brough's meddling neighbor, and Henry Edwards' enigmatic confidant—serve as mirrors reflecting societal pressures and the fragility of hope. As the specter of disaster looms, the film oscillates between tender domestic moments and stark, expressionistic set pieces, culminating in a conflagration that tests the limits of love, fate, and the human capacity to confront the unseen.
