Curious little B-film noir about patient in hospital who is recovering from back injury until some strange woman comes into his bedroom into hospital, rambling some nonsense. Soon after he is released police track him down about dissapearence of his friend who is accused of murder. After some investigations ex-patient is increasingly taken into twilight world where he can't dinstinguish reality from dreams, and in febrile atmosphere sense of unreality overwhelms him. Truck load of flash backs and fast forwards run through this odd piece of movie making, and there are some profoundly melancholy images that all good film noirs are well known for. But as it always happen, some very trivial things underlines all that, and that is pathological jealousy.
