A film blending documentary and fiction. The story of Isabelle Fisch, in the sunless land of the Alsace mining basin is nothing like a fairytale: on January 1, 1978, the young woman's body was found in the forest, devoured by animals, beaten, raped, dead of exposure. Isabelle was 19: she had vanished six weeks earlier. A sadistic crime? A local political manoeuvre? The settling of scores?
