Sous la peau (2016)
Directed by Nadia Jandeau, Katia Scarton-Kim

Drama

Film Synopsis

It should have been a happy occasion, five daughters coming together at the family home to celebrate their mother's birthday, but it soon turns into the most traumatic of psychodramas.  It begins with the discovery that the old woman has been murdered by one of the five.  It hardly matters which of the five did the deed because they all have reasons to wish their mother dead, although they would never admit to such.  Over the hours that follow, the sisters' tough childhood comes back to torment them, the most malignant of boomerangs.  Starved of affection, all five of them had a difficult time growing up in this house, but the revelation of a forgotten family secret is about to bring a whole new perspective on their miserable past...
