Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this dark drama, a married tutor in a French village finds himself obsessed by a beautiful young girl and begins to stalk her. He soon finds out that she is the mistress of the man whose son he has been tutoring. The tutor confronts her, and she denies it. He then makes a pass at her. When she strongly resists, he attempts to kill her and ends up scarring her face. He then goes on the lam. Along the way, he kills an older man.
