Synopsis:

Secret Defense is a gripping and fascinating thriller from ground breaking French director Jacques Rivette. When Slyvie's (Sandrine Bonnaire) father, a brilliant scientist is murdered by a family friend, she swears vengeance. However she soon finds herself embroiled in a mystery of love and intrigue. But when she learns the truth about her father, it threatens to shake her very foundations in this dark Hitchcock style thriller.

A female scientist discovers that her brother is about to seek revenge against the family friend who killed their father. She takes his place and his gun and sets out to do the same. Unfortunately she kills the wrong person and discovers the real truth behind her father's death.

The heroin Sylvie, a scientist aged 30, has to dig deeper and deeper into her own background.
