A masterfully suspenseful French noir thriller that weaponizes paranoia and psychological dread, trapping two women in an escalating nightmare of their own making.

The cruel and abusive headmaster of a boarding school, Michel Delassalle, is murdered by an unlikely duo -- his meek wife and the mistress he brazenly flaunts. The women become increasingly unhinged by a series of odd occurrences after Delassalle's corpse mysteriously disappears.
