The Unknown Girl

1 hr. 53 min. | Drama, Detective, Psychological | Pegi 13

Jenny Davin, a young doctor (Adèle Haenel) runs a medical clinic on the outskirts of Liege. Late one night, someone buzzes on the clinic door but she restrains her colleague from opening it as it’s already after hours. The next day Jenny learns from the police that the buzz came from a young woman in need of help who was found dead. The police have no way to identify the girl, and, feeling guilty, Jenny decides to discover the name of the young girl so that she wouldn’t be buried in an anonymous grave as if she had never lived.
