Eugene, an ageing man, leads a double life – one real, the other in his dreams. He goes to see a psychoanalyst, who tries to interpret the meaning of his dreams. Eugene finds a way of entering his dream- world at will and finds out about his childhood and what really happened to his parents. When his wife forces him to make the decision between dream and reality, he finally chooses the dream- world.
