In this distinctive and visually arresting series, set in the coldest town in France, we follow some of the country’s leading actors in a sublime mix of thriller and comedy. David Rousseau, a best-selling novelist with writer’s block, returns to his hometown of Mouthe to unravel the secrets surrounding his birth  –  and  hopefully find inspiration for his work. Meanwhile, it looks like the town may have an art-loving serial killer who’s staging dead people to look like paintings. Rousseau gets embroiled in the investigation, much to the annoyance of local police officer, Louvetot, with events taking a dark turn when he discovers that Aurélie, a victim who survives, is obsessed with him and his work.
