In a small Breton town, a 10-year-old girl is found murdered. René, her art teacher, a professional painter, is the last person to have seen her alive. The inspector in charge of the investigation immediately questions him. In this small provincial town where people all know each other and regularly meet at the Bar des Amis, René is increasingly unsettled by the other inhabitants' suspicions and by the inspector's investigation. Children stop coming to him for lessons. His wife, Viviane, a district nurse, protects him and supports him with her love. However, a self-centred media-star writer adds to René's confusion...

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A provincial murder investigation slowly strangles a man's reputation and peace of mind, turning an entire town into judges and his own marriage into his only refuge. The film feels like watching someone disappear under the weight of suspicion, even as the truth remains elusive.
