Algiers, 1938. Meursault, a quiet and unassuming employee in his early thirties, attends his mother's funeral without shedding a tear. The next day, he begins a casual affair with Marie, a work colleague, and quickly slips back into his usual routine. However, his daily life is soon disrupted by his neighbor, Raymond Sintès, who draws Meursault into his shady dealings – until, on one blisteringly hot day, a tragic event occurs on a beach.

François Ozon's sterling adaptation of Albert Camus' landmark novel is a gripping account of human absurdity in French-colonized Algeria in the 1930s.
