Plot

Charles Elaine goes from strength to strength. A famous actor, his career is progressing smoothly with the advice of Strosser and daughter Isabelle, his lawyers. But someone in the shadows wants to lead him to loss, madness and crime, by applying the theories of a psychiatrist who proposed that deft manipulation "can make anyone crazy".

False rumors, strange coincidences, terminated contracts, and the beautiful Rella, who attracts and refuses him, all add to Charles' mounting worries. He soon is appearing again in the lead role of Macbeth, a tragedy that obsesses him, ever since witnessing the fatal fall of his father from the cliffs of Cassis as a child. Staged allusions come and go, persuading him that he was responsible for his father's death. Just who is responsible for the manipulation of Charles – Alice, his sister? Or Alexander, his stepfather / Alice's father?
