Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

"LUNCH ON THE EIFFEL TOWER. Lunch on the Eiffel Tower held in honour of the visit of the representatives of foreign municipalities". The guests at lunch; waiters carrying dishes; and a tracking shot taken from the lift as it descends, the iron girders of the building preventing a clear view of the city.
