Interview with Director
Trailer

In a town near Lille, melancholy police superintendent Pharaon De Winter
lives with his mother, with whom he has moved in when his own family
died. An 11-year-old girl has been raped and murdered, and over the next
week, De Winter investigates and grieves, his face nearly expressionless. He
bikes and gardens, trying to take his mind off the recent events. He
accompanies his neighbors, Joseph and Domino, to dinner and to the
seaside; he even observes them in vigorous if not rough coitus. For Domino,
sex seems her way of connecting. Does she fancy Pharaon? A plowed field,
the sea, Pharaon's flowers, the vaginas of Domino and of the ravaged girl--
this mix of images of beauty, evil, and possibility assaults Pharaon as he
tries to do his job and hold on to his humanity.
