Cérémonie secrète

Rachel is a lawyer. She is the adopted daughter of a large family of magistrates dominated by Maxime (Michel Bouquet), a ruthless and strange prosecutor. She has not left the world of carelessness, between dreams and nightmares. She often indulges in strange daydreams, but the reality of this case is going to clash with her life. Her first client has just committed suicide in prison. In front of this woman’s coffin. Everything comes back to her, the visiting room, the scene of the crime, the story of an abused life. As children, they lived in the same village. Like in a fairy tale, the gate of a castle separated them. The truth about their relationship is revealed. Rachel must face her obsessions.
