A promising pianist, Marie leaves home to further her studies at the Lyon
conservatoire. She hasn't enough money to live on her own, so she moves
in with her childhood friend Emma, who now lives alone in her apartment after
the death of her father. It isn't the easiest of co-habitations, as
the piano student soon feels she is coming increasingly under the control
of her old friend. Gradually, Marie develops a profound fascination
for Emma, who still hasn't come to terms with being abandoned by her mother.
Eventually, Marie finds herself torn between two conflicting impulses - the
urge to run away from the strange young woman who has begun to exert a worrying,
possibly malignant influence over her, and the desire to stay and devote
herself to her piano playing. It turns out that that both women have
an intense need for each other and it isn't long before they become incapable
of separating...

The very best French thrillers
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
