Georges Clou (Lopez) is a successful salesman, enjoying the fruits of his labour as a resident of an exclusive gated community in the French Riviera. His life is seemingly idyllic, a beautiful home, a loving wife and a son. Appearances are deceptive as this idyllic vision is spoiled by the traumas his teenage son endures. Elsewhere in the community, Paul Marteau (Barr), arrives with a troubled past and uncertain future.[2]
For the adaptation, the filmmaker transported the script from the United States to the French Riviera, with most of the action taking place around Nice.[3]
Reception
Positif described the film as "a curious fusion between the world of Chabrol and Lynch that awakens a riot of empathic anti-establishment feeling".[3]
