Flash-back (El apartamento)

Rain-slicked Paris streets, autumn, the flicker of a neon café sign. A man buys a one-way train ticket, then lingers outside an apartment building, watching a woman light a cigarette in a fifth-floor window. Less Hitchcock chase than Alain Resnais echo—how memory haunts doorways, not deeds.
