Two outcasts are drawn together by crime and passion in this 2001 tour de force from director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet).

Carla (Emmanuelle Devos, who won a César Award for her performance) is an unappreciated, hard-of-hearing employee at a nondescript construction company. Her lonely life gets a jolt of excitement when she hires a new assistant: Paul (Vincent Cassel,  Mesrine: Public Enemy #), an ex-con who soon enlists her (and her lip-reading ability) in a risky scheme.
