A film about falsehood, the pitfalls of falsehood, a film about mythomania, narcissism, gullibility. A film about family pressures, social pressures, pressure among friends, a film about loneliness. A film about a man, Jean-Claude Romand, who seemed to be the perfect embodiment of unobtrusive success. A man who couldn't disappoint because of his vast intelligence, his daunting modesty, his impressive savoir-faire. A film about Jean-Claude Romand, who, to avoid admitting that his entire life has been a sham, kills his wife, children and parents. Jean-Claude Romand turned mendacity into a life system whereas, at first, he told the kind of lies all people do.
