Guily conscience Haunts after 20 years
2 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It is a psychological drama, a sexually frustrated architect who killed his wife 20 years ago and dumped her body in construction site at the airport returns to Paris. Twenty years seem to have brought him fame and recognition ; however, his guilty conscience gives birth to a teenage girl, it is not clear whether she exists in his fantasy alone or is a real woman but her cryptic stories that start with a delayed flight pull him back to school days and thereafter of jealousy, greed and hunger to succeed.

Our protagonist initially resists hearing the stories from his fantasy daughter had he not killed his wife; he eventually manages to dump her alive in the same material that was used to bury his wife's body.

Those who understand the human psychology of murderers, white collar criminals shall find this movie based on a novel interesting; it is not perfect but successfully presents a limited picture of reality blurred into fantasy.

The blood stain on the model of the airport is symbolic of the fact that stigma of the crime remains indelible whether the criminal is smart or not.
