Somewhere in Eastern Europe circa the 19th century, Alexandre (Gregory Hlady) is a vagabond. This refugee from the Russian Empire in search of a true home meets Ulysse (Paul Ahmarani), a kindhearted but physically deformed man who is also looking for acceptance. Driven from normal society, the two settle near a supposedly haunted marsh, but soon a young girl's corpse is discovered nearby. The local villagers wrongfully suspect the two strange newcomers of murder and form a lynch mob.

Audience Member Une belle histoire noire et mystérieuse. Ne vaut pas le détour, mais quand même intéressant. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member ouff.. tellement bizarre...mais incroyablement bon. Paul Ahmarani hallucinant! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member That was a real nice surprise!! Very moody and a superb score by Julien Knafo and Stéphane Richer!!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Étrange, troublant, magnifique. Paul toujours excellent et bravo au directeur photo! La fin m'a beaucoup émue. Je ne regarderai plus jamais les fermiers de la même façon! À voir absolument. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Oui, Nguyen fait des films visuellement et sethétiquement magnifique peu importe les moyens et le budget, mais sa lenteur est un point qui dérange puisque comme il navigue dans des eaux non-courantes et inusités, un rhytme serait demandé pour contrebalancer cette non-convention. Malgré tout, fort de puissantes interprétation, d'une critique de société qui demeure constante si on suit son 2e long-métrage, on trouve une première réalisation intéressante et prometteuse qui demeure malgré tout plus efficace par son contenant que son contenu. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
