In the French countryside, wild boars ravaging crops spark an open war between farmers and members of a gentlemen’s hunting club, who feed the animals between hunts. Brun, a bankrupt farmer, struggles to keep his farm afloat. When the club’s president pushes him to his limits, Brun shoots him and disappears. A year later, Fulda, a volatile police officer newly transferred to the region, leads the investigation alongside Stéphane, a psychologist whose own life is falling apart. As wild boars proliferate across the region, their investigation takes increasingly unthinkable turns – as does the relationship developing between them.
“I liked the idea of a film populated by men, with a woman orbiting in their midst, catapulted into this community of hunters, farmers, and police officers. A kind of analytical thriller in which masculinity would be questioned.” (Sarah Arnold)
