Description:

In rural France, 1893, Joseph Bouvier shoots his beloved and then himself after she rejects his marriage proposal, leading to a stay in a bleak asylum. Though physically wounded, he's released back into society with a damaged mind carrying deep inner torment. Over the years, Bouvier transforms into a terrifying predator, targeting young people and spreading fear. Judge Rousseau relentlessly pursues Bouvier, but his ambition takes over. He plots to prevent Bouvier from being declared insane, as a conviction would mean losing his opportunity for fame by prosecuting the infamous killer. The story explores the complexities of human nature, morality, and the dangerous intersection of sanity and ambition, keeping audiences captivated.
