In Your Hands (2011)

In this riveting psychological drama from the imaginative mind of French Writer and Director Lola Doillon, an act of vengeance veers off a predictable path. Our protagonist, Anna (portrayed by Dame Kristin Scott Thomas), escapes from a secluded house on the fringes of Paris, keeping her ordeal shrouded in secrecy. Resuming her everyday existence as an OB-GYN, the ordinary becomes extraordinary when she turns up at a police station the following day to report her abduction. The plot thickens as we delve into Anna's past. Years prior, she executed a cesarean section that tragically ended the life of a woman, leaving the patient's husband, Yann (played by Pio Marmaï), enveloped in a cloak of grief and desolation. This loss unhinged Yann, leading him to kidnap Anna, his mind teetering on the edges of sanity as he sought to avenge his wife and child's death. Yet, as they spent days in the claustrophobic confines of Yann's basement, a surprising evolution transpires. Their mutual loathing begins to dissolve, replaced by a myriad of intricate emotions that challenge their understanding of justice and retaliation. The narrative is further entwined with the complexity of their evolving relationship, adding an unpredictable dimension to this tale of retribution. "In Your Hands" was greeted with acclaim as an official selection at the 2010 BFI London Film Festival, a testament to its compelling narrative and profound exploration of human emotions.

In Your Hands is a drama movie featuring Kristin Scott Thomas and directed by Lola Doillon.
