action
Julie was raped by a police officer as a young girl and then treated in a closed psychiatric hospital for five years. When she is released, however, she has still not overcome this traumatic experience. She continues to be terrified of men in uniform. After her release, she was placed as a private tutor in the house of the wealthy entrepreneur Stéphane Mostri. There she is supposed to teach Mostri's nephew. This is just as traumatized as Julie. He lost his parents.
One day, Julie and her nephew are kidnapped. The kidnapper tries to portray Julie as the actual kidnapper. She has to write a ransom note and is actually under suspicion. But Julie is able to escape captivity with the boy. However, her fear of the policeman's uniform prevents her from being able to explain the story credibly, and so she involuntarily becomes increasingly entangled.
