In The Electric Kiss, famous painter Antoine (Pio Marmaï) has been left inconsolable and unable to paint since the death of his wife Irène (Vimala Pons). He encounters Suzanne (Anaïs Demoustier), known as the “Electric Venus,” a fairground attraction whose performance relies on giving audiences the brief illusion of love and through a misunderstanding he mistakes her for the fair's medium. Believing her to possess genuine spiritual gifts, he persuades her to help him communicate with his lost love. Suzanne, trapped in a life of poverty and exploitation, initially sees the arrangement as her opportunity to escape, an arrangement that Antoine's art dealer, Armand (Gilles Lellouche), is all too happy to facilitate.
