A surreal scene unfolds during the filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée" at Francine Weisweiller's Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959. In the garden, Cocteau and Weisweiller stand in period costume, while the character "L'homme chien," played by Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, emerges from a doorway. Observing from the ivy-clad balcony above are friends and fellow artists, including Pablo Picasso, Alberto and Susi Magnelli, Michele Sapone, and Renato Guttuso.
