Story
Alsace, 1944. Mathilde finds herself falling deeply in love with Amine Belhaj, a Moroccan soldier, billeted in her town, fighting for the French. After the Liberation, Mathilde leaves France, following Amine to Morocco. But life here is unrecognisable to this brave and passionate young woman. Where she once danced, bickered with her sister, her life is now that of a farmer's wife - with all the sacrifices and vexations that brings. Suffocated by the heat, by her loneliness on the farm, by the mistrust she inspires as a foreigner and by the lack of money, Mathilde grows restless.

Story
Morocco, 1968. As she stands at the window, Mathilde reflects on the opportunities before her. Looking out at her garden, the roses - brought in from Marrakech - have bloomed and their sweet, fresh scent pervades the garden. Anything feels possible, and she is determined to celebrate it. Don't they have the right to enjoy life, after dedicating their best years to the war and then to this farm?

Story
"Année après année, Mathilde revint à la charge. Chaque été, quand soufflait le chergui et que la chaleur, écrasante, lui portait sur les nerfs, elle lançait cette idée de piscine qui révulsait son époux. Ils ne faisaient aucun mal, ils avaient bien le droit de profiter de la vie, eux qui avaient sacrifié leurs plus belles années à la guerre puis à l'exploitation de cette ferme. Elle voulait cette piscine, elle la voulait en compensation de ses sacrifices, de sa solitude, de sa jeunesse perdue."

Story
Over one night, alone in the Punta della Dogana Museum in Venice, Leïla Slimani grapples with the self as it is revealed in solitude. In a place of old and new, she confronts her past and her present, through her life as a Moroccan woman, as a writer, and as a daughter. Surrounded by art, she explores what it means to behold and clasp beauty; enveloped by night, she confronts the meaning of life and death.

En 1944, Mathilde, une jeune Alsacienne, s'éprend d'Amine Belhaj, un Marocain combattant dans l'armée française. Après la Libération, le couple s'installe au Maroc à Meknès, ville de garnison et de colons. Tandis qu'Amine tente de mettre en valeur un domaine constitué de terres rocailleuses et ingrates, Mathilde se sent vite étouffée par le climat rigoriste du Maroc. Seule et isolée à la ferme avec ses deux enfants, elle souffre de la méfiance qu'elle inspire en tant qu'étrangère et du manque d'argent.

Story
Adèle har det perfekte liv. Hun er en respekteret journalist, lykkeligt gift med lægen Richard som hun har en lille søn med, og bor i en stor, smuk pariserlejlighed. Men bag den polerede facade fortæres hun af kedsomhed og hengiver sig til sine fantasier og en lind strøm af stævnemøder og hemmelige affærer. Hun ved hun ikke burde, men gradvis begynder de hemmelige møder at fylde mere og mere i hendes liv. Hun forsømmer sit arbejde og lyver for sin familie, alt sammen for at forfølge et stadig mere altopslugende begær, uanset prisen.

Story
Adèle appears to have the perfect life. A respected journalist, she lives in a flawless Parisian apartment with her surgeon husband and their young son. But beneath the veneer of 'having it all', she is bored - and consumed by an insatiable need for sex, whatever the cost. Struggling to contain the twin forces of compulsion and desire, she begins to orchestrate her life around her one-night stands and extramarital affairs, arriving late to work and lying to her husband about where she's been, until she becomes ensnared in a trap of her own making.

Story
Comme un écrivain qui pense que "toute audace véritable vient de l’intérieur", Leïla Slimani n'aime pas sortir de chez elle, et préfère la solitude à la distraction. Pourquoi alors accepter cette proposition d'une nuit blanche à la pointe de la Douane, à Venise, dans les collections d'art de la Fondation Pinault, qui ne lui parlent guère ?

Story
"Une semaine qu'elle tient. Une semaine qu'elle n'a pas cédé. Mais cette nuit, elle en a rêvé et n'a pas pu se rendormir. Un rêve moite, interminable, qui s'est introduit en elle comme un souffle d'air chaud. Adèle ne peut plus penser qu'à ça." Adèle semble heureuse avec Richard, le médecin qu'elle a épousé. Pourtant, elle ne peut s'empêcher de collectionner les conquêtes. "Dans le jardin de l'ogre" est l'histoire d'un corps esclave de ses pulsions que rien ne rassasie. Un roman féroce et viscéral sur l'addiction sexuelle et ses implacables conséquences.

Story
Eine der bedeutendsten literarischen Stimmen unserer Zeit. Es ist eine ungewöhnliche Nacht, die Leïla Slimani im Museo Punta Della Dogana in Venedig verbringt. Im einstigen Zollgebäude der Serenissima, einem Ort, an dem sich seit jeher Orient und Okzident begegnen. Für die französisch-marokkanische Schriftstellerin wird er zum Symbol ihrer eigenen Geschichte. Allein im Museum, in den dunklen Stunden zwischen Sonnenuntergang und Tagesanbruch, taucht Slimani in Erinnerungen ein.

Story
Paul og Myriam bor i Paris og har to børn. Da Myriam skal tilbage til arbejdet, har de brug for en barnepige, og de beslutter sig for den perfekte, tillidsvækkende og hjertelige Louise, som tager dem med storm. Børnene elsker hende, hun er øm og omsorgsfuld, laver udsøgte måltider til hele familien, efterlader huset skinnende rent og holder sig i øvrigt diskret i baggrunden. Snart kan Myriam og Paul slet ikke leve uden Louise, men ganske langsomt går det op for dem, at noget er helt helt galt. Louise viser små glimt af umotiveret vrede, de finder besynderlige bidemærker på børnene, og en morgen finder de et renskurret kyllingeskrog på spisebordet.

Nach langer Suche entscheiden sie sich für Louise, eine zierliche Frau Anfang fünfzig, deren Tochter bereits erwachsen und deren Mann verstorben ist. Louise erobert auf Anhieb die Herzen der Kinder und macht sich schnell unentbehrlich: Sie ist Köchin, Haushaltshilfe, guter Geist. Was sie verheimlicht: ihre Einsamkeit, ihre Geldnot, ihre Verzweiflung. Die gegenseitige Abhängigkeit wird immer größer, bis irgendwann eine Tragödie über die Familie hereinbricht.

Nel 1944, durante la guerra, Mathilde, una giovane alsaziana, s'innamora di Amin, un soldato marocchino che combatte nell'esercito francese contro l'occupazione nazista. Lui è affascinato dalla vitalità e dalla libertà di Mathilde; lei è sedotta dalla bellezza e dalla sensibilità dell'uomo.

Ma l'impatto con la nuova realtà è traumatico per entrambi.
