A darkly satirical true-crime drama set during WWI that uses black humor and social commentary to examine a serial killer's crimes against the backdrop of wartime Paris.

Paris, France, during the First World War. While thousands of soldiers die every day on the battlefields, Henri Landru, a seemingly respectable furniture dealer, married and father of four children, relentlessly feeds his own sinister factory of death.
