Misericordia

Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake) returns with the sharp, sinister, and slyly funny thriller MISERICORDIA.

In the autumnal, woodsy village of Saint-Martial, Jérémie (Félix Kysyl), an out-of-work baker, has returned to his hometown after the death of his beloved former boss, The Baker. When Jérémie asks to extend his visit, he begins to insert himself into his mentor's family's life, including The Baker's kind-hearted widow Martine (Catherine Frot) and venomously angry son Vincent (Jean-Baptiste Durand). When Vincent disappears, an investigation takes place amongst the carnal world of violence and eroticism that emanates throughout Jérémie, the town, and its inhabitants.
