Blanche crosses paths with Grégoire and falls under his charm. Their story unfolds in a whirlwind of passion. The couple moves, Blanche distances herself from her family, including her twin sister, and opens up to a new life. However, thread by thread, she finds herself under the control of a possessive and dangerous man. This powerful adaptation of Éric Reinhardt’s novel by Valérie Donzelli (known for Declaration of War) tells the harrowing story of a woman descending into hell as she grapples with a possessive and violent husband. A gripping Hitchcockian thriller that delves into the terrible mechanisms of spousal control.
