Description:
Paris. A shocking death, a determined psychiatrist, and a truth no one else wants to see.
When Paula Cohen-Solal (Virginie Efira, Waiting for Bojangles) is found dead, the authorities rule it a suicide. But her psychiatrist, Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster in her first major French-language role), refuses to accept it. Convinced that Paula’s husband Simon (Mathieu Amalric, Sink or Swim) is involved, she decides to investigate on her own – even if it means venturing far beyond her professional limits.
With the help of her ex-husband Gabriel (Daniel Auteuil, Love Boat) and a hypnotist whose sessions trigger unsettling visions, Lilian is plunged into a labyrinth where memory, intuition, and doubt collide. Each vision brings her closer to the truth… or deeper into danger.
Jodie Foster delivers a riveting performance worthy of her two Oscars and four Golden Globes, and showcases her sensational linguistic and emotional precision.
Directed by Rebecca Zlotowski (Other People’s Children), the film reimagines the investigative thriller with a bold twist – blending tension, dark humour, and witty couple dynamics within a charged psychological setting.
