A ceremony under the sign of danger
On his wedding day, Joseph thinks he’s in for one of the happiest moments of his life. But he soon realises that his future wife’s family is hiding a disturbing secret. Behind the festivities and smiles lies a chilling ancestral ritual in which Joseph becomes the offering intended to free Anne from a mysterious mark that afflicts the women of her lineage.
When partying becomes a nightmare
Planned as a three-part mini-series, Un Jour de Marque builds up tension gradually, starting with a familiar, reassuring situation. Gradually, disturbing details accumulate, turning the marriage into a race against time, between flight, stalking and revelations.
A dark and immersive thriller
With its sober, effective direction, Un Jour de Marque focuses on atmosphere and suspense rather than spectacular effects. The lighting, sound and acting accompany the build-up to an intense final confrontation, where love collides with the violence of tradition.
