Like his namesake in Caravaggio's iconic painting, Thomas is doubtful of everything: his relationship with his wife; his profession as a neurosurgeon, over which he obsesses to the point of questioning spirituality in all its forms; even London, where he lives, often lost in the thick fog and in glasses of whisky. Marie, a jazz singer from Montreal, is on tour in London, her powerful voice piercing the stuffy air of the city's nightclubs. Devastated by the news that she must undergo brain surgery that may leave her with aphasia, she is desperately in search of comfort. Bathed in dreamlight, London is the half-fantasized, half-real backdrop for the improbable but fateful meeting of these two troubled souls. Beneath Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco and on the chilly docks of the Thames, the singer and the brain surgeon seek, find and then lose each other in this existential urban fable.
