In 'The Beauty Thieves', Pascal Bruckner introduces us to Mathilde, a young psychiatric resident who listens to the confession of Benjamin, an enigmatic patient. Benjamin's story reveals a refuge in a Jura farm, where he and his girlfriend Hélène are trapped by a peculiar trio: an affable lawyer, his resentful wife, and their diligent servant. As the refuge turns into a prison, Mathilde is drawn to unravel the secrets of the young women locked up there, whose beauty seems to fade away. Will Mathilde succumb to the fascination of a story that surpasses her?
