Dana (Victoria Foyt), a young American woman traveling on business in Jerusalem, meets a mysterious older French woman at a café (Aviva Marks) who shares a fascinating story of lost love revolving around the expensive antique pin she's wearing. The woman exits the café abruptly, leaving the pin behind and Dana, who is on her way to meet her fiancé (Michael Brandon) for a "pre-honeymoon" week in London, must reschedule her trip through Paris in an unsettling attempt to return the jewel. Thus begins a journey that leads Dana first to the English coastal town of Dover, where she finds herself strongly drawn to an inexplicably familiar stranger named Sean (Stephen Dillane), and later to a country home in London, where, among others, she encounters the extraordinary Skelly (Vanessa Redgrave), a woman whose passionate belief in "jumping off the cliff" of life has a profound effect upon Dana. Filmed in Israel, France and England, DÉJÀ VU is a film about the powerful pull that two total strangers can feel toward one another, how one's orderly life plans can be suddenly and overwhelmingly disrupted by mysterious feelings of connection and belonging that seem to defy all logic and circumstance.
