When Stéphane (Laure Calamy; Call My Agent!) gets in touch with wealthy Serge (Jacques Weber), announcing that she is his long-abandoned daughter, his immediate family aren’t too too thrilled. Stéphane embarks on an extended visit to get to know Serge and becomes entangled amongst the hostile women in his life: the restaurateur’s wife (Dominique Blanc), his other daughter (Doria Tillier), a rebellious granddaughter (Céleste Brunnquell), and a strangely off-putting housemaid, all of whom are unsettled by the arrival of Serge’s newly announced heir. But Stéphane is a confident liar with her own secrets, which writer-director Sébastien Marnier teases throughout this wild yet entertaining thriller.
The Origin of Evil open in select theaters and on demand on Friday, September 22nd.
