Georges Laurent is a successful TV presenter and enjoys a seemingly stable social and family life. But he is increasingly unnerved when he starts to receive mysterious video tapes and childlike drawings. As there is no obvious physical threat the police will not intervene, and Georges starts his own investigations - a trail which stretches deep into his childhood and his relationship with a young Algerian orphan (Majid). Majid’s failed life contrasts starkly with George’s own, and this must ‘explain’ the tapes and pictures. Or must it? There is so much hidden in this film that audiences have been known to leave the cinema arguing about its plot and vowing to see it again.
