Savage

Les Fauves

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

The summertime idleness of a community in Southern France is disrupted when teenagers start to disappear. People start talking about a leopard wandering in the area, but Laura, who stays next door to an enigmatic horror writer, has a different take on reality. Following her gut instinct and playing cat and mouse with the police, she decides to solve the mystery when one of her friends goes missing. A fascinating thriller where the pervasive feeling of dread works as the most accurate expression of female angst, featuring the most photogenic figure of new French cinema.
