Thirty-something Maxime (Vincent Macaigne), a Paris-based musician, has moved temporarily to his father’s house in Tonnerre, a small town in Burgundy.
Quickly smitten with a young woman he meets there, he falls apart when she ends the romance via a text message.
As the film skillfully shifts from a quiet character study to a tension-filled thriller, Macaigne demonstrates why he is one of the most in-demand actors of his generation.
