A man, Julien, newly released from thirteen years in prison returns to his hometown on parole. He is obsessed with a young woman, Emily; he follows her around, watches her every move, tracks her. On the day he decides to approach her, he reaches out and states only, “It’s me,” which she replies to with a scream. Dark secrets and connected histories come to bear on the two as their story slowly unfolds. Jean-Xavier De Lestrade is renowned for his documentaries dealing in crime and punishment, such as the epic The Staircase, which chronicled a notorious Michael Peterson murder trial and its preparations, and the Oscar-winning Murder on a Sunday Morning, about a fifteen-year-old African- American boy wrongfully accused of murder. Now De Lestrade turns his camera to narrative filmmaking for the first time, but remains firmly entrenched in the subject matter he knows best.
