In Jean-Pascal Hattu’s intricately crafted character exploration, a dedicated young woman finds herself caught in a complex tangle of desire and deceit. This vividly authentic psychosexual drama showcases a sharp emotional truthfulness, marking the emergence of a unique voice from a talented new director. Hattu gradually unveils that Maite’s husband, Vincent, is imprisoned for an undisclosed offense, and she has vowed to remain faithful, tending to his laundry (though not his marital needs) during his sentence. During one of her routine visits, Maite encounters Jean, a prison warden with a peculiar curiosity and a daringly flirtatious demeanor, leading to a bleak affair between them. Apparently infatuated with Maite, Jean shows compassion by easing Vincent’s prison experience; the two men develop a friendship, even sharing some homoerotic conversations in the shower. —Robert O’Shaughnessy
