In November 2022, a woman receives a phone call from the police. A body has been found on the beach in Le Havre, the city where she grew up. In the victim's pocket, a movie ticket has her phone number written on it. Who was this man, and how was he connected to her? The persistent questions of the police prompt a suspenseful search through the streets of the city she left behind as well as the corridors of her own memory.
A masterful psychological thriller reminiscent of a Hitchcock film scripted by Virginia Woolf. A personal urban Odyssey exploring how we learn to move forward with the ghosts of the past.
