DramaRomance

High-profile lawyer Michel takes on the defence of a young and pretty small-time thief, Cécile, after the botched hold-up of a jewellery shop. As predicted by his elegant art-dealer and sculptress wife Viviane, Michel goes well beyond his brief, jeopardising his career and ruining his marriage of 18 years.

VIBE

A slow-burn descent into obsession. The film feels like a heavy, rain-soaked coat, full of unspoken desires and the gnawing dread of consequences. It's a study in moral compromise, wrapped in a stylish, adult drama.
