English Jérémie arrives in his hometown for the funeral of his former employer, to whom he was very close, and stays for a few days with the deceased's wife, the widow Martine. She is happy to host him at her place, but her son resents it. What appears at first to be a friendly comedy quickly slides into a chilling and nerve-wracking detective drama, but retains a solid dose of wit and humour to the end. One of the most interesting characters is the priest... you'll understand why when (if) you see the film. [Festival de Cannes 2024] ()
