When her landlady [Clotilde Mollet] unexpectedly cancels the lease, Stéphane [Laure Calamy] contacts Serge Dumontet [Jacques Weber], her biological father whom she never knew. He welcomes her with open arms, but his daughter is especially suspicious. What follows wouldn't be out of place in a thriller, but Marnier's clumsy directing prevents any build-up of tension, making this more of a succession of eccentric events. And when it turns out that all is not as it seems, the surprising twists follow in an increasing degree of ridiculousness. Calamy turns out to be completely unsuitable for her role and the 'smart' plot is rather annoying. The savior is Suzanne Clément as the unpredictable sweetheart. Why they didn't give it the lead role is a mystery to me.

Laure Calamy indeed has too sweet a smile to be identified with such a character, but that also helped to mislead the viewer, which the director was happy to do.
So it was a fascinated look despite the irritating, obnoxious appearance of the family.
And what is the origin of evil? What a lofty title for a crime story that does not contain a conclusion as to how evil creeps into man.
