Émilie Dequenne

A troubled young woman moves to a small town to start fresh with her aunt, but soon learns the locals have a vendetta against her family-and her past might be the key to unraveling their dangerous secrets.

The resident in Mount Vernon New York isn't happy with the authorities effort to catch rapists that are terrorizing the town. The court exonerated three suspects due to lack of evidence and the city went into a frenzy. This triggered the minds of Three ladies (one of them is a former Agent) that decided to become vigilantes to take matters in their own hands to seek rapists and apply justice their own way. From the help of a former commissioner, who had an agenda of her own, she gives sensitive information about the most likely rape suspect that's responsible for the city's panic mode. However, the former commissioner sets out to get revenge against one of the ladies who had an affair with (her) wife.

In 18th-century France, the Chevalier de Fronsac and his Native American friend Mani are sent to the Gevaudan province at the king's behest to investigate the killings of hundreds by a mysterious beast. Southern France, around the year 1766: fear of a murderous beast is rife in the mountainous region of Gévaudan. The Chevalier Grégoire de Fronsac (Samuel Le Bihan), a well-traveled naturalist and taxidermist, is commissioned by His Royal Majesty to assist in the search. With his blood brother and friend Mani (Marc Dacoscos), who has accompanied him since his time in the colonies in the New World, the Chevalier immerses himself in the exuberant life of the provincial nobility. He begins an affair with the mysterious courtesan Sylvia (Monica Bellucci), meets the charismatic nobleman de Morangias (Vincent Cassel) and falls in love with his young sister Marianne (Émilie Dequenne). However, the hunt for the beast is unsuccessful. To demonstrate his omnipotence, the king has a wolf shot and instructs de Fronsac to stuff the animal into a monstrous creature. Another victim is soon reported from Gévaudan. De Fronsac returns to the frightened region on his own initiative. What he suspects seems bolder than any gruesome speculation. —ARD In 1764 something was stalking the mountains of central France. A 'beast' that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had killed over 100 people.To this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, a wolf? a hyena? or something supernatural? The Beast is a popular myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Until now. Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorized France in the eighteenth century, the movie aims to tell first and explain afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives in the Gevaudan region, in the mountainous central part of France. The Beast has been attacking women and children for months and nobody has been able to harm it or even take a good look at it. In the second part, our hero Chevalier de Fronsac will not only have to fight the Beast, but also ignorance, bigotry and conspiracy and will rely on two women, one an aristocrat, the other a prostitute, as well as the enigmatic Mani, an Iroquois he met in New-France (Canada). —Anonymous
