Marc, a professor of literature, is known as a serial seducer. He lives in a mountain chalet with his hyper-stylish sister Marianne (Karin Viard). A few days after the disappearance of Barbara, his most brilliant student and latest conquest, Anna (Maïwenn) appears hoping to find her daughter.

In Amalric’s brilliant portrayal of the conflicted Marc we begin to question his innocence. The snow-covered landscapes and the university building (the Rolex, Lausanne) with its numerous large apertures and slopes, serve as metaphores for Marc’s mind and apparent memory loss. (MPR)
