Monsieur (Monsieur)

February 1969 - Monsieur, is rich. He doesn't talk - he spits or he thunders. Monsieur owns everything. Catherine is poor and speaks little. At the Domaine where she works, she is one of those invisible people thanks to whom the farm runs and that evening, she has custody of little Sylvie. She holds her by the hand. But "annoyed" (as Madame says) by a lecherous lumberjack who plays at scaring her, she lets go of this hand. The child is no longer there.
Febuary 1969 - Monsieur is rich. He does not talk - he spits, he thunders. Monsieur owns everything. Catherine is poor and rarely speaks. In the Domain where she works, she is part of the invisibles thanks to whom the farm runs, and that night, she watches over little Sylvie (4 years old). She holds her by the hand. But jostled by a lumberjack who is playing with her, this hand, she lets it go. The child is gone. She has disappeared. Two Parisian cops, freshly out of the capital where May 68 has brought a wind of rebellion, pace the greasy and sticky land of the Domain but their questions remain unanswered. Between class violence, deathly patriarchy and social dominance this disappearance is going to bring out the worst in most. Until an unexpected outcome!

Février 1969- Monsieur, est riche. Il ne parle pas – il crache ou il tonne. Monsieur possède tout. Catherine est pauvre et parle peu. Au Domaine où elle travaille, elle fait partie de ces invisibles grâce à qui la ferme tourne et ce soir-là, elle a la garde de la petite Sylvie (4 ans). Elle la tient par la main. Mais bousculée par un bûcheron qui joue à lui faire peur, cette main, elle la lâche. L’enfant n’est plus là. Elle a disparu. Deux flics parisiens, fraichement montés de la capitale où Mai 68 a fait souffler un vent de rébellion, ont beau arpenter la terre grasse et collante du Domaine les questions posées demeurent sans réponses. Entre violences de classe, patriarcat mortifère et domination sociale, cette disparition va révéler le pire chez la plupart. Jusqu'à un dénouement inattendu!
