Girl on the Bridge

Synopsis

On a bridge over the Seine in Paris, Adèle is swinging a leg over the railing when a man stops beside her and asks whether she really means to jump. She does it anyway, and he dives into the icy water after her and pulls her out. At the hospital he explains that he has a knife-throwing act in the circus and is short of a target, and a woman who doesn’t care about her own life is ideal. Adèle says yes.
