Film Synopsis

Alexandre Gérard is perturbed when, one day, he receives an anonymous photograph.  It is a picture of himself as a young boy, tied to a chair with an expression of horror on his face.  Confused memories resurface in Alexandre's mind and he feels compelled to return to the isolated country house which served as an orphanage for him and several other boys thirty years ago.  The locals remember a day when all of the boys - except Alexandre - mysteriously disappeared.  At the time, Alexandre was in a state of complete amnesia and had no knowledge of what had happened.  The mystery of that fateful day has remained intact for three decades.  Now it is time to discover the truth...
