A methodical, morally complex police procedural that descends into psychological obsession as investigators confront the victim's humanity and their own complicity in a misogynistic system.

Young and ambitious Captain Vivés has just been appointed group leader at the Grenoble Criminal Squad when Clara's murder case lands on his desk. Vivés and his team investigate Clara's complex life and relations, but what starts as a professional and methodical immersion into the victim's life soon turns into a haunting obsession.
