In the sun-drenched splendor of the French Riviera during the 1920s, a world-renowned magician and master of deception finds his staunch rationalism challenged by a beguiling young psychic who might just be the real thing.

Written and directed by Woody Allen, this elegant romantic comedy-drama weaves a witty and enchanting tale of skepticism versus wonder, set against a backdrop of picturesque landscapes and jazz-age sophistication, where the greatest trick may be performed on the heart itself.
