Synopsis

Now 25 years old, Lucie sets out to get revenge on the people who attacked and permanently scarred her when she was only 10 years old.

France. A night at the beginning of the 1970s. Lucie, a little girl missing for over... See more a year, is discovered wandering by the side of a country road. Near catatonic, she can say nothing about what has happened to her. The cops quickly find the place in which she’s been incarcerated – a disused slaughterhouse. Every indication is that she never once left the empty, freezing room in which she was imprisoned. Filthy, starving, dehydrated, the child’s body nonetheless bears no traces of sexual abuse – this was no pedophile abduction, but something far stranger. What happened in that icy room? And how did Lucie escape?
