Holiday (2010)
Directed by Guillaume Nicloux

Film Synopsis

Michel Trémois's carefully planned holiday has turned into his worst nightmare.  Having managed to miss the last train back to Paris, he finds himself with a nosebleed, stranded in the provincial town where he had hoped to breathe some life back into his stale marriage.  As he stumbles into a chemist's shop, he begins to piece together the bizarre events of the past few days in an attempt to understand just how he ended up in this sorry predicament.  It began innocuously enough, with Michel and Nadine agreeing to spend a weekend together at a provincial hotel.

The magic had long gone out of the couple's marriage and they both thought a change of scene, a brief excursion to the provinces, would do them good.  It might even reawaken their love life.  But as soon as they arrived at that benighted hotel nothing went right for the couple.  With one of their neighbours performing singing exercises whilst another indulged in a noisy spot of household maintenance, the prospect of a peaceful weekend quickly went out of the window.  Michel and Nadine's misfortunes continued with a chance encounter with a partner-swapping couple who invited them out to dinner.  What happened thereafter Michel is still struggling to comprehend.  All that he knows is that his wife has gone missing and he is charged with murder.  He has had better holidays...
