Soon to be a major US motion picture starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, Mothers' Instinct is a dark, twisty domestic thriller in which the bond between two couples mutates in dangerous and deadly ways in the wake of a tragic accident. David and Laetitia Brunelle and Sylvain and Tiphaine Geniot are inseparable friends and next-door neighbours in a pretty, tranquil suburb. Their sons Milo and Maxime, born in the same year, grow up together as close as brothers. But when Maxime is killed in an accident, their idyllic world shatters. Maxime's parents, Sylvain and Tiphaine, are consumed by grief and bitterness, while David and Laetitia are wracked with guilt for their role in the tragedy. Soon the couples are barely speaking, although they maintain a polite facade. Then a series of 'accidents' begins to happen to Milo, raising Laetitia's suspicions about their former friends' actions.
