Paul (Daniel Auteuil) is a brain surgeon, working too hard for too many years and neglecting his wife Lucie (Kristen Scott Thomas). Then he meets a mysterious woman called Lou (Leila Bekhti), who claims to be one of his former patients but who he doesn’t recall.
Directed by Philippe Claude, this quiet domestic/psychological study slowly escalates into a sort of thriller. The performances are all strong. Paul is difficult to like, but the writing is strong enough that you are drawn into the strangeness of his predicament as he enters a sort of later-life crisis.
