Jodie Foster stars in this elegant psychological drama as a psychiatrist drawn into a mystery following the sudden death of one of her patients. As professional boundaries blur and personal vulnerabilities surface, the film becomes a suspenseful meditation on identity, secrecy, and emotional projection. Set against a richly atmospheric Parisian backdrop, the story unfolds with Zlotowski’s signature blend of tension and character nuance. The film premiered at major European festivals, where critics praised Foster’s commanding, quietly layered performance. One review described the film as “a sophisticated, slow-burn thriller anchored by Foster’s remarkable restraint,” highlighting its tonal precision. Early festival reception marked the film as a standout in contemporary French cinema.
