A drifter living in the woods outside a small French coastal town strikes up a unique relationship with a strange young woman. When killings ensue, the local police begin an investigation, but the couple remain apart from everything through a mix of religion, spirituality and complete detachment.

Minimalist, mystical, and transcendent, Bruno Dumont’s film follows the spiritual transformation of its central characters with little embellishment. The veritable enfant terrible of French cinema constructs a story of exquisite complexity that fundamentally challenges our belief systems.
