Synopsis:

A man who has regained his life falls for a woman who has lost her identity in this offbeat comedy/drama from Belgium. Peter de Wit (Arno) suffered a severe heart attack and was declared dead at a hospital in Brussels, but while no one is looking he comes to in the morgue, shaken but little worse for wear. Swiping the clothes and wallet of fellow deceased patient, Peter treats himself to a night on the town, and while dining at a Chinese restaurant, he meets Lucie (Valerie Le Maitre), a performance artist. Lucie was debuting a new piece earlier in the evening, but after paying a visit to her mother she was sexually assaulted by Edouard (Francois Negret), her former boyfriend, and she's had a delayed reaction to the trauma that has left her with temporary amnesia. As Lucie tries to recall who she really is, Peter is having a splendid time being someone else for the evening, but can either put much stock in their mutual attraction given the circumstances? Komma was the first feature film from writer and director Martine Doyen.

Peter De Wit, 50, wakes up in the middle of the night and
realizes with terror that that he is in a hospital morgue.
How did he get there? He doesnt remember and doesnt
want to... Under the identity of a corpse he stole the wallet
from, Peter decides to take a new start, to invent a new
life. His mature figure wanders in the city, slipping - with
more or less brio in the skin of a character he improvises
depending on the situation: Lars Erickson, an enigmatic
Swedish businessman stopping by Brussels. One night, he
runs into Lucie, a young and neurotic artist who seems to
have lost her memory. Without noticing it, through a
communicating vessels effect, Peters mythomany fills in
Lucies amnesia and Peter treats himself with an important
part in Lucies life...
