Synopsis
One morning, the rich and powerful industrialist Stanislas Graff is kidnapped outside his home by a commando group. For Graff, it is the beginning of an ordeal lasting several weeks. He is humiliated, has one of his fingers amputated, and is denied his humanity - but somehow, manages to resist giving in to his captors. He accepts everything without complaints or resistance, and defends himself against his captors’ cruelty with a strength and dignity. Completely cut off from the rest of the world, and only aware of what the kidnappers tell him, Stanislas cannot understand why his friends and family are taking their time to pay the demanded ransom. Outside, his world breaks down as the details of his double life emerge. All of his most intimate secrets - including a mistress and gambling debts - are revealed to his family, the police, and the public. Everyone discovers a man far different than the one they had imagined.
