The charismatic, surly son of a wealthy industrialist, Clément, leads a double life as a member of a right-wing extremist organization. When he’s ratted out after a failed assassination attempt on a prominent politician, Clément and his long-suffering wife Anne flee Paris to the idyllic country home of his childhood friend, pacifist print-maker Paul.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A seething French noir where political extremism and romantic entanglement combust in claustrophobic proximity. The film builds dread through intimate human conflict as much as ideological rupture.
