The Electric Kiss

Paris, 1928. Antoine Balestro, a young painter in vogue, has been unable to paint since his wife died, much to the despair of his gallery owner, Armand. One drunken evening, Antoine tries to contact his wife through a psychic, but instead finds himself speaking with Suzanne, a humble carnival worker who has sneaked in to steal food. Suzanne proves to be a gifted fraudster and, soon aided by Armand, stages fake séances.
