Under the Sand
Synopsis: Marie and Jean are a married couple, set in the rhythms o f a life spent together. As
they begin their regular holiday at their country house, nothing seems amiss. But one day at the
beach, while Marie naps in the sand, Jean goes for a swim and vanishes without a trace. Frantic,
Marie combs the beach, then calls the lifegaurds and local police, who are all unable to locate him.
Left with unanswered questions, Marie returns to Paris alone, but is consummed by memories o f
her beloved Jean. Tenaciously, Marie keeps the memory o f her husband alive, often speaking o f
him as if he never disappeared. She strikes up a tentative relationship with Vincent, but is unable
to make a real commitment. Ultimately she must grapple with her life alone while coping with her
erotic stirrings and fantasy life. G enre: Mystery / Drama Rating: This film is not yet rated.
