DESCRIPTION
The Cesar-nominated script is an adaptation of Colin Niel’s best-selling criminal novel. The film is an intriguing and tense brain teaser, in which the successive pieces of the puzzle gradually begin to fit together. In a sleepy mountain town in France, a woman mysteriously disappears during a snowstorm. Five strangers are involved in the mystery, each of them hiding something, and their motives are not entirely clear. The director reveals five glances at Evelyn’s disappearance, adding threads and confusing clues. The case goes far beyond the place where the empty car was found.
