Simon Callow is a good actor, but his cod Franglais in this is so awful it's distracting.
It builds a mystery plot around the loss of a child and the grieving process of a couple, which quickly offers a plot twist to introduce a suspense story about truth and lies. It benefits from the colours of Morocco in an almost dreamlike staging, and from the construction of characters that have a certain ambiguity and whom the viewer never knows whether to fully believe. But it ends up wasting some interesting nuances about how to deal with death, ending with an unconvincing and very far-fetched ending.
