Once upon a time there was a suburb, where there lived a young girl named Alice. She was beautiful and an adorable playmate: games with seduction and violence were her favorites. One day, Alice decided to kill Said, a handsome classmate, full of himself. Unable to carry out her plan on her own, she convinces innocent Luc to commit the crime as proof of his love for her. However, things are not as simple as she thought. In fact, to kill someone can be complicated and difficult. Alice and Luc go to the forest to conceal the body of the colleague assassinated, but they lose their way.

     " The idea for this film arose from my former passion for stories of crimes and fables. I wanted to blend in these two modes.
