FRIDAY 1 OCTOBER AT 10PM
Max, an agoraphobic golfer lives an isolated life in the woods.
One day while out practicing his golf swing he stumbles across
the body of a young woman. Unnerved at first, he tentatively
approaches her only to discover she is not dead but unconscious.
He slings her limp body over his shoulder and takes her back to
his house. He cares for her but does not entirely trust her. He
can’t help but notice the blood that remains after her shower and
asks if she’s injured. As the two develop an uneasy relationship,
Max finds himself increasingly attracted to this strangely ethereal
young woman. One night she escapes, running off into the
woods. Giving chase, he discovers her having sex with a man
while cannibalizing him. He is shaken to the core but nonetheless
starts a romantic relationship with her.
The film features standout performances from the icily delicate
Helena Coppejans in her debut film role and award-winning actor
Nicolas Gob as the troubled ex-gangster Max. Director Benjamin
Viré makes an auspicious debut with this stylish thriller that
combines atmosphere with action to great effect, while producer
Eloi Gérard was recently hailed as a producer to watch by the
influential industry bulletin Sydney’s Buzz. SB
