In Her Absence

Release date : 23/02/2017
In a country still traumatized by the serial killings of Marc Dutroux, the disappearance of a fifteen-year-old high schooler has a devastating “butterfly effect” on her village’s community.
March 2005. It was a beautiful morning in the small village of Montange, at the heart of the Belgian Ardennes. Bénédicte, age fifteen, returns home to exchange her down jacket for a lighter one. On a colder day, she probably would have walked more quickly to catch the bus. But... March 2005. It was a beautiful morning in the small village of Montange, at the heart of the Belgian Ardennes. Bénédicte, age fifteen, returns home to exchange her down jacket for a lighter one. On a colder day, she probably would have walked more quickly to catch the bus. But not on this particular day—she’ll stay behind and take the scenic route… in fact, Bénédicte will never again climb on the bus.
After three days, what the police had at first considered an ordinary case of a teenager running away will transform the life of this peaceful village into a maelstrom of fear, suspicion, misunderstanding, and guilt, opening old wounds and laying souls bare in a chain of diabolically orchestrated circumstances.
