2013 (France), 90 minutes, Drama/Thriller.
The entire film takes place at a lakeside cruising spot in rural France, surrounded by a dense forest. This location serves as a secluded, insular world with its own set of unwritten rules and social hierarchies. The lake functions as a liminal space—a paradise of natural beauty and sexual freedom that slowly reveals itself to be a potential trap.
As Franck becomes increasingly drawn to Michel, the lake’s fragile sense of community is fractured by a string of mysterious events: a regular visitor disappears, and rumors begin to circulate that a killer is stalking the area. Despite warnings from other men—particularly from a concerned friend, Henri—Franck continues to pursue the dangerous affair. The film tightens around the tension between erotic desire and mortal risk, culminating in a slow-burning, ambiguous climax that forces Franck to confront how far he will go for passion.
