After a French prostitute is found dead, one of her regular clients is tried and convicted for her murder.

Soon, the witnesses that testified against him end up being systematically murdered by a mysterious killer wearing black gloves.

VIBE

This is a lurid, stylish dive into a world of Parisian shadows and escalating dread. Expect a blend of high-fashion sleaze, methodical suspense, and sudden, shocking violence, all wrapped in a distinctly 70s European aesthetic. It's a campy, sensual, and often unsettling whodunit.
