Jeanne Charming Killman (Isabelle), an investigating magistrate, is in charge of disentangling and informing a complex business of misappropriation and embezzlements blaming the president(François Berléand) of a significant industrial group. Progressively with her investigations and interrogations, she understands that her capacity increases: the more she penetrates into the secrets, the more pressure is increased. Meanwhile, for the same reasons, her private life weakens. And soon she is posed by two fundamental questions: to which extent, can she increase this capacity within her own power? To which extent of the human nature can she resist the intoxication of this capacity? Perhaps she will leave there broken. The 7th film between Chabrol and Isabelle.

Director: Alessandro Capone
With: Laura Morante
Production Date: The end of May, 2006 for seven weeks
Location: France or Italy?
Budget: 4.5M Euro
Danielle (Isabelle), age 47, Parisian, has been admitted to a private clinic after her third suicide attempt. She has condemned herself to inviolable silence, closed up in a world with no more reactions, needs, future. She is persuaded by the psychiatrist (Laura Morante) who is treating her and who doesn’t want to lose her, to attempt to at least write down some of her thoughts. This is enough for the doctor’s first striking intuition: Danielle totally identifies with her role as mother, and her daughter Sophie invades her reality. Making an extreme effort, but always a little more coherent, the woman succeeds in finding the words to explain and understand the roots of her unease, of her general ill-being, of her desire for death: an isolated and difficult childhood, a rushed marriage and a pregnancy she submitted to without much choice. Like a descent into Hell, Danielle recalls her journey as a failure as mother, reluctantly reconstructing her relationship with her daughter up to a terrible episode during Sophie’s childhood. From the novel by Danielle Girard.
