Après la peine

In an era out of time, a small rural region of an unknown country is the scene of a bloody purge orchestrated by a charismatic leader, a purge which claims the lives of a great many young people. In a farmhouse of this devastated region, a young man awakens with no memory of the past. An old woman sits at his bedside and nurses him back to health. She reveals to him that he is the sole survivor of the 'Bloodletting'. From then on, a strange relationship grows between this taciturn old woman and this man with no past.
