You can hide from your past but you can never erase it

Paul Exben (Romain Duris, Russian Dolls, Paris) is a handsome and successful Parisian lawyer with a beautiful wife, two children, and a glimmering future in the firm he co-owns with his mentor, Anne (Catherine Deneuve). But behind this deceptively perfect facade lies a restless spirit who's uncomfortable in his conformist life and envies the freedom of his neighbor Greg, an uncompromising photojournalist. When he's suddenly and unexpectedly implicated in Greg's murder, Paul embarks on a cross-continental odyssey of reinvention, leading him to uncover the answer to the question: is it possible to become someone else?

With Hitchcockian precision and echoes of Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley, director Eric Lartigau (The Players, I Do) explores the themes of identity and creativity through one man's gripping journey from Paris and Brittany to Montenegro and points beyond, crafting a suspenseful thriller about the dangers that persist even after one engineers the ultimate fresh start. (2010)
