David Rousseau, a detective story writer, out of inspiration, goes to Mouthe, the coldest village in France, after receiving a mysterious message.The same day, a murder occurs…Seeing an unexpected opportunity for a new novel, Rousseau begins an investigation that overlaps with that of Warrant Officer Louvetot. As disorder creeps in and bodies start piling up and… It looks like there might be a serial killer… in Mouthe!

Our take

A stylized and mischievous detective comedy by Gérald Hustache-Mathieu filled with delightful references to American movies and series (Fargo, Twin Peaks, Seven). This treasure hunt set in winter, mixing crime and art, is led by the same brilliant duo from the director’s previous film (Poupoupidou): Jean-Paul Rouve and Guillaume Gouix.
