Michèle seems indestructible. Head of a leading video game company, she brings the same ruthless attitude to her love life as to business. Being attacked in her home by an unknown assailant changes Michèle’s life forever. When she resolutely tracks the man down, they are both drawn into a curious and thrilling game.
Isabelle Huppert stars in a daring new film about a high-powered businesswoman whose brutal sexual assault elicits both erotic fantasies and dreams of revenge.
