A French man, a newcomer to lstanbul, meets a mysterious woman. Her real name, address, job in Istanbul, and origin are all uncertain. He is attracted to and has an affair with this woman with whom he strolls around lstanbul, an equally mysterious and uncanny city. Then she disappears, and as he tracks her down in a desperate effort, he is lost in an impossible labyrinth. In The Immortal, Alain Robbe-Grillet's first attempt at filmmaking, the static hotel decor of Marienbad is replaced by Istanbul with her fascinatingly and surrealistically static ambiance.
