Twelve-year-old Mathieu is haunted by the death of his father, who died accidentally when he was two. On each anniversary of his death, the young boy becomes withdrawn and unusually taciturn. This attitude worries his grandmother, but not his mother, Agathe, a general practitioner, who prefers not to overreact. Things get complicated when Mathieu, fascinated by his history teacher's tales of cursed kings, decides to create his own family tree and convinces himself he is the descendant of a family of men who die young.
Directed by Anne Deluz, Agathe leans on a strong ensemble — Florence Pernel, Nadine Alari, Ashley Sawdaye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2003.
