Muriel

In the seacoast town of Boulogne, a middle-aged widow struggles to come to terms with her past when her ex-lover and his young girlfriend arrive on the scene. Alphonse's return sparks memories of a long-forgotten love affair, while Bernard, Hélène's stepson, grapples with the trauma of his military service in Algeria, where he was involved in the torture and murder of a girl named Muriel. As the past and present collide, appearances deceive, and things change, hinting that all may not end well for those entangled in this web of guilt, misperceptions, and missed possibilities.
