LEMMING marks the eagerly awaited follow-up to Dominik Moll's hugely successful thriller, “Harry, He's Here to Help”. LEMMING provides another tension-filled, off-kilter riff on the interactions of two couples.
Alain Getty (Laurent Lucas), a young and brilliant engineer, and his wife Benedicte, (Charlotte Gainsbourg) move to a new city following Alain's work transfer. They invite Alain's new boss (André Dussolier) and his wife (Charlotte Rampling) to dinner one evening.
However the difference between the two couples couldn't be more extreme: on one hand the young model couple, on the other, a pair corroded by hate and resentment. This disastrous dinner and the discovery of a mysterious dead rodent in the kitchen sink waste pipe marks the descent into pandemonium of their once perfect life.
This is a surreal, darkly comic and disturbing psychological thriller.
