One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
A couple sells a storage space in the basement of the building they live in to a seemingly ordinary gentleman. When he makes the place his home, they discover his hateful, manipulative, and anti-Semitic nature and desperately try to cancel the deal.
"Starring an all-star cast of French cinema, including Oscar-nominated Bérénice Bejo ('The Artist'), François Cluzet ('Untouchable') and Jérémie Renier ('Double Lover'), this psychological thriller from Philippe Le Guay ('Riding the Rails with Molière') is one of those movies that will leave you scratching your head. It puts our own certainties into question by bringing up current debates such as historical revisionism, denialism and intolerance. In the story, the life of a Parisian family is turned upside down when a man full of prejudices moves into their basement without permission. The absurd situation leads them to the extreme of their own violence and makes us question the limits of life in society."
