A tense, claustrophobic interrogation thriller that builds psychological pressure through dialogue and doubt, leaving guilt and innocence deliberately uncertain.
Martinaud, an illustrious notary suspected of being the perpetrator of two horrendous crimes, voluntarily agrees to be questioned by Inspector Gallien on New Year's Eve. What initially is a routine procedure, soon becomes a harsh interrogation that seems to confirm the initial suspicions.
