In a darkening room just before sunset, a young woman asks a young man to tell her a story. Adapted from a story by Stefan Zweig and shot entirely on Super 8mm film, “Margot” follows the telling of that story as it blends, dreamlike, with the images of the Parisian streets outside and the sun slowly sets.
