Directed by Jérôme Cornuau

Film Synopsis

Sarah Arendt and her eight-year-old daughter Lola are enjoying a peaceful holiday on a remote Scottish island when disaster strikes.  The little girl goes missing and the attempts to find her prove completely fruitless.  The disappearance of Lola puts such a strain on her parents' marriage that they end up separating not long afterwards.  The girl's father, Martin, used to be a successful lawyer.  Now he is a wreck of a man, prone to severe bouts of depression and alcoholism.  Two years after Lola went missing she suddenly appears from nowhere, in precisely the same spot where she vanished.

Scarcely able to believe this fantastic turn of events, Martin goes to collect his daughter.  He is surprised and relieved to find that she is in perfect health.  Bizarrely, Lola is unable to offer any account of what has happened to her and she remains dumb when her father tries to tease the truth out of her.  Martin is convinced that his daughter is hiding something from him, and slowly his suspicions turn to paranoia.  Fearing that he is caught up in some conspiracy, he regards everyone around him as an enemy and is convinced that someone is spying on him wherever he goes.  As Martin and Lola make their way across the rugged island it appears that they are heading ever closer towards a truth that is too terrifying to contemplate...
