Rapt (2009)

In the gripping narrative of Rapt (2009), we follow the harrowing journey of Stanislaff Graff, a wealthy industrialist teetering between the worlds of power and passion with a devoted wife and a mistress. His life takes a horrifying turn when he is violently abducted from the comfort of his limousine, just as he is about to join the French president on a pivotal visit to China. The abductors are ruthless, demanding a staggering fifty million euro ransom, showing their deadly earnest by severing one of Graff's fingers. As time ticks on, Graff's world inside his cold, unforgiving prison deteriorates, mirroring his physical and mental descent into despair. Outside, a nerve-racking chess game unfolds. On one side are the relentless kidnappers, on the other, the police and Graff's corporate board, wrestling with a chilling question - is a human life worth the demanded fifty million euros? And even if they decide it is, can they muster such an astronomical sum in time to save Graff? Meanwhile, the press, ever ravenous for a scandal, plunges into the depths of Graff's past, unearthing revelations that strike at the heart of his already tormented wife.
