Lieu du crime

Thomas, a teenager suffering through his parents' divorce, is startled on a country walk by Martin, an escaped convict. The stranger demands that Thomas bring him money for train fare, but in complying, Thomas is nearly killed by Martin's violent accomplice. In a surprising scene, Martin saves Thomas's life. These striking events set the stage for Lili, Thomas's mother, a club owner. Trapped by both her struggles to raise Thomas and the village's provincial ways, Lili finds herself drawn to Martin, who she knows to be a criminal. As tangled impulses grow more intense, and the implications of both Lili's and Martin's quests for freedom escalate, this film unfurls a devastating portrait of the constraints both of childhood and of conventional morality.
