Synopsis

In The Case of Henri Vibard, the story unfolds in a rest home where Henri Vibard, an amnesiac man, grapples with the fragments of his lost memory. The atmosphere is thick with tension as he observes the arrival of a taxi cab, which seems to carry an ominous presence. When Sergeant Jack Freeman, a familiar figure from the London Bureau of Missing Persons, steps out with a woman named Mary, Henri's emotions surge. Mary is his wife, yet she embodies a dark chapter of his past—she has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. This revelation sends Henri spiraling into a mix of fury and fear as he confronts the implications of her return and the potential for his own identity to be unraveled.
