French high school literature teacher Gilles (Fabrice Luchini) assigns his students a weekly journal, asking them to truthfully record their weekend experiences. Among many tedious assignments, Gilles unexpectedly finds the article by 16-year-old Claude (Ernst Umhauer) exceptionally fascinating. Claude is a quiet observer, accustomed to sitting in the back row of the classroom. His assignment is about voyeurism—telling the story of how he sneaks into a friend's house to spy on their family's life. Gilles is deeply captivated by the words and reignites his long-dormant literary passion. He not only decides to tutor the talented Claude individually, encouraging him to unleash his creativity, but also shares Claude's essay with his wife Jeanne (Kristin Scott Thomas). However, the adults gradually forget the boundary between fiction and reality while reading, oblivious to the fact that their own home is wide open... French maverick director François Ozon, known for his darkly shocking films like "8 Women" and "Swimming Pool," returns to the suspenseful and thrilling genre with his new film "In the House" after the heartwarming art films "5x2" and "Time to Leave." The film is adapted from the Spanish play "The Boy in the Last Row," with the director skillfully interweaving voyeuristic literature with the ambiguous facets of reality, challenging the moral boundaries of desire with a layered and dreamlike narrative. This film has been nominated for six awards at the French César Awards and has won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Toronto Film Festival and the Golden Shell for Best Film at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, also being selected as one of the Best European Films of the Year.
