Drama

Film Synopsis

Anna is a young Austrian woman who has made her home in France.  She loves her daughter more than anything in the world, and there is no sacrifice that she would not make for her.  Her tranquil existence turns into a living nightmare when, one by one, several people she has met by chance are killed by a mysterious unknown assailant and savagely butchered.  Anna can hardly bring herself to confront the terrible truth - that her daughter may be behind the killings.  Can it be that her dear little offspring is a monster in disguise?  Anna soon has reason to doubt her sanity as her whole world begins to fall apart as anxiety gives way to outright paranoia...
