About the movie

Philippe Claudel and Kristin Scott-Thomas reunite in this subtle story of a man in the autumn of his life, torn between a loving wife and his dangerous attraction for a troubled, mysterious young woman. Paul has never questioned his choices. Married right out of med school to the stunning Lucie, who set aside her own career to accommodate his brilliant one as a brain surgeon, he has been faithful, has earned the respect of his peers, raised a son and built a lovely home. Life is good. But now something might threaten all that.
Set in the midst of upper-class French society this intricately built story tells the complex tale of a man lured into a sinister plot. Starring Daniel Auteuil (Caché, Someone I Loved), Kristin Scott Thomas (Only God Forgives, Sarah’s Key), Leïla Bekhti (The Source [Ceasar-nominated for Best Actress], All that Glitters) and directed by novelist-turned filmmaker Philippe Claudel (I’ve Loved You So Long, Tous les soleis).
