In the grandeur of a captivating château, adorned with vaulted ceilings and a splendid array of artwork, unfolds a baffling mystery. A weekend gathering serves as the backdrop for an enigmatic man, known only as "X", who fixates his attention on an elusive woman, "A". Driven by a compelling certainty, X relentlessly tries to persuade A that their paths have crossed before – in the previous year, in the Czech spa-town of Marienbad. However, A remains shrouded in doubt, her mind devoid of any memories of a romantic rendezvous with this persistent stranger. As they traverse the palace's opulent rooms, X's tales of their clandestine encounter grow increasingly convincing, yet A remains unpersuaded, convinced of his fabrication. As they weave through the labyrinthine corridors of the château, the narrative dances on the fine line between truth and illusion. Did they really meet last year at Marienbad or is X's conviction merely a product of his imagination? This captivating tale of memory, perception, and desire leaves you questioning, pondering the elusive truth of what really happened last year at Marienbad.
