    intense

    For many reasons, the star of film is the red sweater of Stephane Rideau. The second, Stephane Rideau himself. An intense story about family and about a terrible murder. Simple, precise, tragic and using the fair tones , nuances and dialogues. A film about brotherhood and the secret who escapes to any confession.
