Spoilers ahead
Affluent Parisian couple Anne Laurent and Georges Laurent awaken one morning to a jarring discovery: a videotape that captures hours of footage from their own home, suggesting they are under some form of surveillance. The discovery sparks a tense debate between them about who could be watching and why, weighing possibilities that span from a child’s harmless prank by their 12-year-old son, Pierrot, to the more unsettling notion that it could come from ardent fans of Georges, who hosts a literary television show. A second mysterious tape arrives, accompanied by a childlike drawing of a person with blood streaming from the mouth, and soon more drawings appear in alarming places—mailed to Georges’s workplace and Pierrot’s school.
