I Stand Alone

In the bowels of France.

A brutally nihilistic descent into the psyche of a working-class man consumed by rage, despair, and violent obsession, told through his poisoned inner monologue.

After completing jail time for beating up a man who tried to seduce his mentally-handicapped teenage daughter, the Butcher wants to start life anew. He institutionalizes his daughter and moves to the Lille suburbs with his mistress, who promises him a new butcher shop. Learning that she lied, the Butcher returns to Paris to find his daughter.
