Justine Triet is a French filmmaker whose fiction short, Two Ships, won a number of prizes at French and international festivals – European Film Award, Berlinale 2012; Grand Prix, Angers First Look; Grand Prix; 2013 Césars. Her debut feature Age of Panic was selected for ACID in Cannes 2013 and nominated for a 2014 César in the Best First Film category. In Bed With Victoria, her second feature, opened the Critics’ Week in Cannes in 2016. The film was nominated for five Césars, including Best Film and Best Actress. Sibyl, her third feature, was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes FF.
For the past year, Sandra, a German writer, her French husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he committed suicide or was killed. Samuel's death is treated as suspicious, presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. Little by little the trial becomes not just an investigation of the circumstances of Samuel's death, but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel's conflicted relationship.
