synopsis
Overly philosophical and obscure, this talkative mystery remains enigmatic through long, rambling discussions, the murder of a clown who recites surrealist poetry to school children, the release of a barge-owner accused of the murder, and the journey of two half-sisters to Paris. Confusing and inscrutable, this mystery seems destined to permanently remain that way.
