A very interesting short (about 40 min) by Maurice Tourneur.

A man (Charles Vanel) wants his brother-in-law to be released from the insane asylum he's been confined to for years.Nothing sentimental:for his business,the guy needs money which the mentally sick has got.

The wife is scared:he tried to kill her for very obscure reasons.Actually ,he is a paranoid who thinks there are threatening conspiracies against him.

In the doctor's office ,we feel how this unfortunate man is a real head case.At home ,he's looking through his window:there are two men in the streets ,might they be ????When the night comes,the wife's terror rises..

The end is completely unexpected and proves how sublime paternal love can be!

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
