Summary:
It's the story of a profoundly alienated police detective who, while investigating the murder of a young girl, experiences jolting, epiphanous moments of emotional and physical connection. Demonstrating Dumont's deftness with nonactors and relentlessly frank depiction of bodies and sexuality, it is at once idiosyncratic police procedural and provocative exploration of the tension between humankind's capacity for compassion and one's base, sometimes barbarous animal instincts.
