In the Shadow of Iris

Iris disappears in broad daylight in Paris. A short time later, her husband Antoine receives a call from the kidnapper demanding a ransom of half a million euros. Antoine calls in the police and Max, a young mechanic in debt, quickly comes under suspicion of having something to do with the disappearance. But Antoine also seems to be hiding parts of his life - a web of lies, sex and violence begins to unravel... Jalil Lespert directs IRIS as a disturbing confusion and also takes on the leading role of Antoine.
