Under the Sand (2000)
Original title: Sous le sable
dir: François Ozon
Marie, a happily married wife of Jean for 25 years is a professor of English literature in a Paris university. During their summer vacation in the southwest of France, Jean goes to swim in the sea while his wife is sunbathing and never returns, vanishing without a trace. No body is found and she raises questions. Has he left her? Committed suicide? Drowned? With no body to mourn over she pretends that he is still alive as her life becomes increasingly drowned in enigmatic complexity and emotional disorientation.
