Synopsis:

A woman cautiously emerges from a house in the Paris suburbs, then returns to her home and work, telling everyone she knows that she has been on holiday and that everything is normal. Surgeon Anna clearly has a secret that she doesn't intend to reveal - but this taut thriller by Lola Doillon keeps the narrative on a slow-burning fuse until Anna walks into a police station and explains what's really been happening to her. Essentially a two-hander for most of its duration, Doillon's film pits Anna against a man with a long-standing grudge against her. An intense, claustrophobic thriller, In Your Hands is an astute and complex examination of the fluid, mutually treacherous relationship between victim and aggressor, captive and jailer.

Anna Cooper (Kristin Scott Thomas in Gallic mode) is a surgeon who, years before, was cleared of the death of a woman following a simple C-section procedure. The woman's husband (Pio Marmaï) disagrees with the verdict and over time has hatched a plan to take revenge... Stockholm syndrome is filtered through sexual frisson in this portrait of a woman kidnapped by a man who holds her responsible for his grief.

After a violent encounter with a disturbed stranger, Anna (Kristin Scott Thomas), a respectable surgeon, enters into a terrifying labyrinth of passion and danger, teetering constantly on the brink of control. An intense, claustrophobic thriller, In Your Hands is an astute and complex examination of the fluid, mutually treacherous relationship between victim and aggressor, captive and jailer.
