His lifelong friend, Maître Joly, becomes concerned when Cordelier draws up a will that bequeaths his entire estate to a stranger, Monsieur Opale; he cannot understand why Cordelier defends him, considering Opale attacks women and children. After a colleague is killed, Joly confronts Cordelier and discovers the truth behind his friend's behavior.
A chilling descent into a scientist's fractured psyche. This vintage thriller offers a slow-burn exploration of obsession and the darkness lurking beneath a civilized facade. It's a deeply unsettling, mood-driven experience.
