- Synopsis:
- In the small coastal town of St. Malo, Brittany, the body of a 10-year-old girl is found murdered. Suspicion falls on the dour Rene Sterne (Jacques Gamblin) a once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the last person to see her alive. His marriage to the buoyant Vivianne (Sandrine Bonnaire), already under strain beneath the weight of gossip and rumour, is further tested when shallow but successful novelist, journalist, and TV host Germain-Roland Desmot (Antoine de Caunes) arrives, a flamboyant ladies' man with a vacation home in St. Malo and an interest in Vivianne. A powerful psychological thriller that puts both the characters and the community under a microscope.
