Melissa Guers plays the accused Lise Bataille. Roschdy Zem is her distraught dad. Anais Demoustier plays the DA. Her sister directed.
Guers' best friend is stabbed 7 times right after she leaves her house. The trial is two years after the murder.
A boyfriend of the murdered girl comes across on the stand as a possible suspect. He lies that Guers had frightened the murdered girl. The implicit text shows us that he wanted to date the murdered girl, and that he had probably come back to the house and witnessed Guers and she embracing. Then in a jealous rage he killed her after Guers left. That subtext is there but not explicitly addressed.
The main point is the stoic persona of Guers makes her appear guilty. The DA's final statement to the jury is mainly focused on Guers' silences and lack of emotion.
The excellent performance from Guers will make her a big star.
