Synopsis
Rama, a young novelist, attends the trial of Laurence Coly at the Saint-Omer Court of Assizes. The defendant is accused of having killed her 15-month-old daughter by abandoning her to the rising tide on a beach in northern France. A modern tragedy that explores the mysteries of an inconceivable act, head-on and in a radical way.
