After the accidental death of their daughter, John and Laura Baxter come to Venice during the winter. Whilst there, they meet two mysterious sisters, one of whom is blind and supposedly possesses clairvoyant powers. Laura falls completely under the spell of this woman's strange visions. John fights with all his might against the signs from the realm of the world beyond. - "I wanted to have them be almost golden people, so that it became rather like the incident at Chappaquiddick. Like the Kennedy family. They were unprepared in life. Most people are, aren't they?" (Nicolas Roeg)
