The premise
Six-year-old Jules and his mother Chloé land in deserted French countryside. To start a new life, far from a painful past, she has accepted to take over the village school. But the apparently quiet community is consumed by the unexplained disappearance of a little boy months ago. Mathieu, the town doctor, is not insensible to the newcomer’s charm. As he becomes closer to Chloé, her son Jules grows increasingly anxious. He knows it, he can feel it: Mathieu is the beast, that now wants to devour him and take his mother away.
Horror Vault's take
When single mother Chloé uproots herself and her young son Jules to take charge of a school in a remote French village, she hopes the quiet countryside will offer healing. Instead, the community is shadowed by the mysterious vanishing of a local child, and Jules becomes gripped by a terror he cannot fully articulate. As Chloé grows drawn to the charming local doctor, Jules grows certain that something predatory lurks behind the man's welcoming face. This intimate French horror-drama blurs the line between a child's vivid imagination and a very real evil.
