In the 1930s in Paris, Madeleine Verdier, a young, penniless, and talentless actress, is accused of the murder of a famous producer. Helped by her best friend Pauline, a young lawyer, she is acquitted on the grounds of self-defence. A new life of fame and success begins, until the truth comes out.

As meticulously imagined as his beloved 8 Women, François Ozon’s 1930s-set murder mystery kills with its razor-sharp wit. Featuring a starry cast including a deliciously campy Isabelle Huppert, Mon Crime is a love letter to the screwball antics of the theater world—and the sisterhood between women.
