I have something to tell you

Elsa, a budding writer from Lyon, admires the work of the recently deceased famous novelist Beatrice Blandy. Her meeting with Beatrice's widower, film producer Tomá, marks the beginning of their romantic relationship. The provincial Elsa moves into a luxurious Parisian apartment, where the walls are still adorned with photographs of Beatrice, tables are cluttered with her trinkets, and entry to her study is strictly forbidden. The deeper Elsa immerses herself in Beatrice's world, the more painfully her jealousy of the deceased rival intensifies, thickening the suspense and thriller atmosphere. And suddenly Elsa learns that Beatrice's last manuscript remains unfinished - but how to find it...
