Anna M.

Anna M. is a Parisian book binder who lives with her mother. One evening she throws herself in front of a car in the street. She survives and is guided back from her injuries by Dr Andre Zanevsky. But Anna then develops an obsession with Dr Zanevsky. She contrives to meet and have coffee with him and then gives him presents, follows him home, sends him letters, steals his mail and repeatedly calls him. He hangs up on her calls and tells her to go away. Anna comes to believe that Dr Zanevsky’s wife is preventing him from seeing her. Things become increasingly disturbed when Anna crashes into Dr Zanevsky’s car and then makes a police complaint that he assaulted her. Next she takes a job as the babysitter with the solo father in the apartment upstairs from the Zanevskys.
