Storyline
Paul Exben represents a story of success – a partner in one of Paris’s most exclusive law firms, enjoying a substantial salary, a grand residence, a glamorous wife, and two sons who seem to be straight out of a Gap catalog. However, the discovery that his wife, Sarah, is having an affair with a local photographer named Greg Kremer triggers a surge of emotion, leading Paul to make a fatal mistake. As he stands over the lifeless body of his wife’s lover, Paul realizes that his once-perfect life is irrevocably shattered.

“When you're adapting a book into a movie, you have to take certain creative liberties to bridge the gap between the two forms of media.”
