Jaded psychotherapist Sibyl forms an unhealthy fixation over her newest client in this Cannes-selected drama.
"Sibyl returns to her first passion: writing. But her newest patient Margot, a troubled up-and-coming actress, proves to be a source of inspiration that is far too tempting. Fascinated almost to the point of obsession, Sibyl becomes more and more involved in Margot’s tumultuous life, reviving volatile memories that bring her face to face with her past." (Cannes Film Festival)
