Lulu on the Bridge (1998)

While playing saxophone in a jazz club, Izzy Maurer is shot into the chest by a lunatic. He is submitted to a long surgery, where he loses one lung and has a problem in one hand. When the hospital releases him, he is depressed and does not want to have contact with any telephone caller. His ex-wife Hannah visits him and invites Izzy to have dinner with her husband that is his friend, the producer Philip Kleinman, and the former actress and now director Catherine Moore. During the dinner party, he learns that Philip and Catherine intend to remake "The Pandora Box" in Dublin. While walking back home, Izzy sees a dead man with a bullet into his forehead and a briefcase on the floor of the alley. He brings home and finds the name of the victim (Stanley Mar), a telephone number in a napkin and a strange piece of rock inside the briefcase. Meanwhile, the waitress and wannabe actress Celia Burns discusses with her boss Pierre about the sad fate of Izzy Maurer. When she goes home, she buys a CD from the musician, and while listening to his songs, she receives a phone call from Izzy, asking to go to her place. She receives him and he asks who Stanley Mar is, and soon he shows the rock he found floating and glowing. She tells him that he was a client that invited her to a drink after-hours, and they immediately fall in love with each other. Celia is selected to play Lulu role in the remake and needs to fly to Dublin to shoot, while Izzy stores his belongings before meeting her. But something happens to him and he cannot meet his beloved Celia.
