French dark fantasy movie The Five Devils (Les cinq diables) hits cinemas on 24 March, after playing successfully at various film festivals.

She has secretly captured the scent of Joanne, her mother for whom she nurtures a wild, excessive love. When her father’s sister Julia bursts into their life, Vicky reproduces her smell and is transported into dark and archaic memories which lead her to uncover the secrets of her village, her family and her own existence.
