Plot
Marty (Moore) is a high-powered single literary agent in
Manhattan. Marie (also Moore) is a widow in Provence
with two daughters and a peaceful life. Marty has been
seeing a therapist (Peter Riegert) to deal with her vivid
dreams of Marie’s life; when Marie falls asleep she
dreams Marty’s life, but is much less disturbed by it. Each
woman is convinced that the other is a figment of her
imagination. When Marty meets Aaron (William Ficht-
ner) they become friends and eventually lovers; terrified
that her vivid other life means that she’s losing her mind,
Marty does not want to tell Aaron about it but finally
does. Marie, meanwhile, has met William (Stellan Skars-
gård); she too is reluctant to tell William about her
dreams, particularly since she (as Marty) is falling in love
