Plot

In the heart of the justice system, respected magistrate Simon Cordier has a haunting encounter with Louis Girot, a condemned prisoner on the brink of execution. Girot, who fervently protests his innocence, asserts that a malevolent spirit compelled him towards his crime. Skeptical, Cordier dismisses his claims, only to witness a sudden, startling shift in Girot's demeanor before his abrupt death. In the wake of this chilling experience, Cordier's once orderly world begins to unravel mysteriously. As inexplicable occurrences invade his home, he is plagued by doubts about his nocturnal activities and the unsettling sound of voices that question his sanity. Seeking solace, he turns to an old passion - sculpting, a pastime suggested to restore balance to his tumultuous mind. Meanwhile, he is drawn into a complex relationship with Odette, a calculating woman married to a floundering artist, whose allure is as golden as her ambitions. But the shadow of the invisible, sinister spirit looms large, pushing Cordier towards a path of darkness. As he grapples with this spectral force, he finds himself teetering on the edge of sanity and violence in the riveting narrative of 'Diary of a Madman'.
