Film Synopsis
Ariane Fischer's decision to commit suicide in her hospital room comes as a total surprise to those who were caring for her. Alice, her nurse, cannot understand what could have driven the seemingly sane 30-year-old to such a drastic act. Determined to resolve the mystery, she teams up with Prudence, a social worker, and sets about investigating Ariane's recent past. Their starting point is the contents of the dead woman's bag, which Alice believes may help to shed some light on the reasons for the suicide. As she examines Ariane's notebooks and photographs, Alice attempts to piece together a solution to the mystery, but soon loses herself in her own memories...© James Travers
