Two of the giants of French cinema, Claude Chabrol and Gerard Depardieu, team up for the only time for the director’s 50th and final feature film, a wry thriller about a police commissioner trying to balance professional instinct with family duty.
Once again, Paul Bellamy (Depardieu) and his wife are spending their vacation at her family home in a quiet town.
But just as they’re settling into their reassuringly predictable holiday routine, his perennially troubled younger brother shows up, joined by a mysterious stranger seeking Bellamy’s protection.
Starring: Gerard Depardieu, Marie Bunel, Clovis Comillac, Jacques Gamblin
