Dusoleil, a meek Parisian civil servant, discovers he has the miraculous ability to walk through walls. He uses this power to become a daring cat burglar and win the heart of Isabelle, a beautiful woman trapped in a loveless marriage to a cruel prison warden. But as Dusoleil's confidence and fame grow, his gift begins to fade at the worst possible moment, threatening to seal him inside a wall forever.
