Rousseau is a bestselling crime novelist from Paris, troubled by writer’s block. Candice Lecoeur, a local beauty, gracing the famous ”Belle de Jura” cheese packaging, has gotten it into her head that she might well be the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe. The two will meet in the coldest village in France, but only after Candice has been found dead. The case was closed before it even opened and the cause of death declared suicide by sleeping pills. Rousseau is the only one who doesn’t buy it. Reality turns out to be stranger than fiction – and a source of inspiration – as Rousseau uncovers the truth about Candice’s past and her untimely death. Boasting strong lead performances and gorgeous wintertime landscapes, this offbeat mystery breathes fresh life into the thriller genre.
