Uhloz is the story of the adventures and misadventures of two children on Christmas Eve.
H., 35, an Arabian immigrant, works as projectionist in an old cinema. One day, drawn by the music, he looks through the window of the booth and is fascinated: the dancer he sees on the screen seems to be looking straight into his eyes. He falls in love with her, but the vision last only a moment. Shortly afterwards, an elderly man storms into the projection booth and claims he is his uncle. H. wants to prepare a meal for him and reaches for the oil bottle: he sees the same dancer on the label…. H begins to find echoes of his own life in the images he projects. Everything changes when fiction and reality merge...
Two twin brothers, Romain and Sylvain, live together in an isolated house by the ocean. Between them, violent relationships that oscillate between love and hate. The guardians of the house watch, fascinated and powerless, their dangerous games. Until the day when Hélène, who has already lived with them, returns to look for Sylvain, with whom she has chosen to live.
This quickly-filmed avant-garde farce by prolific director Raul Ruiz features an insomniac (Michel Lonsdale) whose main preoccupation is surreptitiously watching private matters -- he is a voyeur. He and an equally disreputable acquaintance rape a woman alongside the Seine, a crime made all the worse because she is pregnant. The rest of this slow-paced film deals with the consequences of that action.
