Marie lives a quiet existence in the South of France as the chef at a retirement home where the residents adore her. She has a wonderful best friend who helps her make friends and meet people. Her life is uneventful and unassuming until an African priest that Marie distinctly remembers from her previous life arrives at the home.

Ellie Foumbi's feature debut is an intense, heart-pounding, dramatic thriller that takes the timeworn "revenge" genre and turns it on its head. Led by a couple of really fantastic performances, this knockout punch of a filmmaking debut is the 2022 Tribeca Audience Award Winner for Best Narrative Feature.
