Description:  In 1965, T_l_vision Suisse romande broadcast a drama entitled La dame d'outre-une-tout, adapted from a short story by Franco-British writer George Langelaan by the then very popular screenwriter Jean-Louis Roncoroni. The director Jean-Jacques Lagrange thus signs the first science-fiction film of the TSR. An engineer at an atomic power station, Bernard Morgan is confronted with a strange phenomenon in front of his television set. A young nurse, disappeared during the atomic explosion of Nagasaki, appears at dawn in the small screen, trying to communicate with him ... At first firmly rooted in reality, the scenario evolves towards the fantastic, a kind of fairy tale with cold poetry that serves as a showcase for the love story of the two main characters. "Initially, I privileged the realistic side of the story by emphasizing the scientific and police aspect, so that the viewers are brought to the fantastic without realizing it", declared Jean-Jacques Lagrange during from the first broadcast of The Lady from Beyond Nowhere. It will also be noted that The Lady Beyond Nowhere is the first Swiss drama that French television has broadcast.
