At night in a blue-lit apartment, a woman in a satin robe smokes by the window and listens to a vintage ballad before spotting a black-clad intruder peering through her front door peephole. She places a white mannequin head dressed in a jacket by the window as a decoy, but the masked armed intruder enters the flat, confronts her in the hallway and sends her hiding into the kitchen. While the unmasked intruder smokes outside in the brick corridor, the woman holds the mannequin head in the kitchen and watches in terror as it floats in mid-air and turns to face her.
