When her marriage falls apart, Agnès Le Roux moves back to the South of France from Africa to live with her mother, Renée (Catherine Deneuve), owner of a casino in Nice. There, Agnès falls in love with Maurice Agnelet, a lawyer and Renée's business advisor, who is ten years her senior. As a shareholder in the casino, Agnès decides to sell what should have been her inheritance to go it alone. After a failed suicide attempt, Agnès disappears and her body is never found. Thirty years later, Maurice Agnelet remains the prime suspect in a murder case with nobody and no proof of his guilt. Convinced of his involvement, Renée is prepared to fight to the bitter end to see him put behind bars... Nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress at the **Lumiere Awards**.
