A young filmmaker returns to the village where she was born – a hamlet in the north of France – to investigate a strange story about a terrorist threat. She starts with members of her own family and doesn’t have to go much further. The documentary shows how alarmist news items and political machinations in the cities can take on a life of their own, deep in the hinterland.
