Catherine Breillat proves she’s as provocative as ever with her new film, which drives down the dark road of uncontrollable passion. Anne, an attorney who has plateaued in her marriage to Pierre. His troubled seventeen-year-old son from a previous marriage has recently returned to Pierre’s ineffectual care. When Pierre leaves town for a business trip, Anne and Théo — confined under the same roof for the first time — find themselves in the throes of an unexpected and dangerously lustful affair.
