Lilian (Jodie Foster) is an American psychoanalyst living in Paris whose life is turned upside down by the sudden death of one of her patients.
What begins as an exploration of grief quickly unravels into an intricate web of intrigue—files are stolen, foul play is suspected, and spectres of the past resurface. Determined to uncover the truth, Lilian takes matters into her own hands and, with help from her ex-husband (Daniel Auteuil), becomes an unlikely sleuth in an increasingly delirious whodunnit. French filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski approaches the genre with genuine thrills and a joyful dose of dark humour.
