Synopsis

A wallet lost and found opens the door just a crack to romantic adventure for Georges (Andre Dussollier) and Marguerite (Sabine Azema). After examining the ID papers of the owner, it's not a simple matter for Georges to hand in the red wallet he found to the police. Nor can Marguerite retrieve her wallet without being piqued with curiosity about who it was that found it.

As they navigate the social protocols of giving and acknowledging thanks, turbulence enters their otherwise everyday lives...

The new film by Alain Resnais, WILD GRASS, is based on the novel L'Incident by Christian Gailly.
