In His Hands
Insurance clerk Claire is courted by her client Laurent, a middle-aged veterinarian. He pays her several unannounced visits at the office. She soon harbors a dark suspicion: could Laurent have something to do with the serial killer? In Lille, Claire Gauthier is an ordinary married woman with a young daughter that works in an insurance company analyzing losses of insured properties. When the single veterinary Laurent Kessler claims damage in his basement caused by a flooding due to water leakage, Claire resolves the situation favorably for him. The weird Laurent visits Claire in her office successively, inviting her for drinks and lunch, and they get close to each other. Meanwhile, a serial killer is terrorizing Lille, killing women with a scalpel. Claire feels a great attraction for Laurent, who has an unusual behavior in her apartment. When Claire sees a scalpel in the pocket of Laurent's jacket, she fears him, but still loves him. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Insurance employee Claire has a new, actually banal case: water damage in a vet's surgery. Claire has to inspect the damage on site. Since then, the slightly older vet Laurent has been using any excuse to pay Claire a visit in her office; and he soon invites her to meetings outside her workplace. Claire agrees, even though Laurent is rather pushy and strange. At the same time, a serial killer is on the loose in Lille and the surrounding area, targeting young women. Claire begins to wonder whether she shouldn't actually suspect Laurent - he has a scalpel, the murder weapon; and he seems to have a strange relationship with women. Or is she just imagining that it could be him? As she has already built up a personal relationship with Laurent, it becomes increasingly difficult for her to trust her instincts. Who is this mysterious Laurent really, and why does Claire want to get close to him? —Arte
