A writer leaves the city to take shelter in Malvoisie, a house in the middle of nowhere that she inherited from her now-deceased lover. The out-of-the-way location is conducive to sharing secrets, and Floriane soon finds material for her next novel in the tale of Antoine, a gardener with a serious criminal record. She warns him that fiction is always a rearrangement of reality: he might not recognize himself in the story she weaves from the threads of his. But had she realized the extent to which she would be confronted with her own demons? Reliving through Antoine’s story the traumatism of a femicide, she finds herself becoming unintentionally woven into a story that mirrors her own, and forced to confront a past she thought she had buried forever.

Autopsy of a femicide, by both a victim and a predator.
