1962. A glamorous American couple, the charismatic Chester MacFarland (Mortensen) and his alluring younger wife Colette (Dunst), arrive in Athens by boat via the Corinth Canal. While sightseeing at the Acropolis they encounter Rydal (Isaac), a young, Greek-speaking American who is working as a tour guide, scamming tourists on the side. Drawn to Colette's beauty and impressed by Chester's wealth and sophistication, Rydal gladly accepts their invitation to dinner. However, all is not as it seems with the MacFarlands and Chester's affable exterior hides darker secrets. When Rydal visits the couple at their exclusive hotel, Chester presses him to help move the body of a seemingly unconscious man who he claims attacked him. In the moment, Rydal agrees but as events take a more sinister turn he finds himself compromised and unable to pull himself free. His increasing infatuation with the vulnerable and responsive Colette gives rise to Chester's jealousy and paranoia, leading to a tense and dangerous battle of wits between the two men. 骗子的两面人生。诗情画意的亡命。一月的第三张脸庞：对一个故事的重新想像。归宿、边界和失望。蜜月杀机，优雅的流亡。怀旧之旅的佳作。让人昏昏欲睡准备去看原著。贯穿全剧的父子关系。古代悲剧的故事还真是力量强大经久不衰。地中海版《水中刀》。 故事发生在1962年，麦克法兰（维果·莫特森 Viggo Mortensen 饰）和柯莱特（克尔斯滕·邓斯特 Kirsten Dunst 饰）是一对艺术家夫妇，两人前往风景如画的希腊游玩。在古希腊卫城，夫妇两人遇见了名为吕达尔（奥斯卡·伊萨克 Oscar Isaac 饰）的陌生男子，他是当地的导游，靠着小偷小摸和骗吃骗喝过活。 麦克法兰和柯莱特的与众不同吸引了吕达尔的注意，三人结伴共进了晚餐。之后，夫妻两邀请吕达尔前往他们所住的酒店参观。就在这时，麦克法兰提出了一个让吕达尔感到十分疑惑的要求——帮助他搬运一具尸体，然而，柯莱特用甜言蜜语打消了吕达尔的疑虑，并且提出三人一同前往土耳其游玩。
