It's a 2000 French suspense film starring veteran actor Jean Renault.
1. At the beginning of the camera, a decomposed and bound corpse gradually appears, surrounded by various bugs.
2. Then there's the shot of Renault driving, the car crossing the tunnel, over the mountains, and finally to a forest at the foot of the mountain. It turned out that Uncle Renault was a police detective sent by Paris to assist in the investigation of the case. The local police briefly described the missing level murders in Milan, who worked at the university, and then explained why the detectives of the Paris Homicide Unit came to visit, because the outdoor climbers found the victims hanging on a cliff, and the local police had no experience in this.
3. The local police took Renault with them to The University of Goluan, and on the way gave Renault a brief introduction to this university located in the mountains, with its own power plant, water plant, hospital, it is almost a miniature city. They ended up in the morgue, where the forensic doctor said the murderer was a madman because the victim had been made into an embryo, with his hands cut off, multiple cuts just to keep the deceased awake before he died, and his eyes were removed by a very professional way.
4. Then the local police start to investigate according to the conventional thinking, looking for clues. Reynolds followed the train of a professional ophthalmologist and came to the home of a famous ophthalmologist in Coron. After conversation, the professor was engaged in a genetic disease of ophthalmology, and he believed that the murderer did this in order to let the police know the motive for the crime, and the professor was worried about the next generation of defective genetic diseases caused by the marriage within the university in recent years.
5. The story begins to be told in two lines. Then a second police officer appeared, because there were two more cases of theft, one in the cemetery and one at the school. It eventually pointed to a child named Judy who died in a car accident in 1982. Then the young police officer found the traffic police and found out the specific situation of the little girl who was crushed to death by the truck.
6. Renault came to the university alone, walked through the library, found the principal and wanted to talk about the case, but the principal was not interested in the case, but only emphasized the tradition of the university, the son inherited the father's business, the excellent inheritance, and the university is a temple of knowledge. He was then accompanied by the assistant principal and his own son to Milan's former dormitory. Milan succeeded his father as a working librarian and was responsible for the arrangement of seats. His doctoral thesis "We are masters, we are slaves, we create the red river". The story has been going on for so long, and it has been highlighting that the whole university cares about the excellent genetic inheritance of this circle of life.
7. Reynolds then finds the outdoor climber who found the body. She is also a university researcher who controls avalanches, and in order to protect the university, the direction of the avalanches is diverted. At first contact, I found that the mountaineering girl was somewhat disgusted with the so-called inheritance and elite in the school. At the same time, Renault received a phone call saying that the water in the victim's eyes was acid rain, but that the area had not rained acid for a long time.
8. The young policeman came to the monastery and found the mother of the girl Judy. Judy's mother vaguely said that there were demons protecting their secrets, and their secrets did not allow children like Judy to exist. This time Judy's graveyard is stolen, and Judy's information in the school is stolen by the devil, who has returned to continue to protect their own secrets. In fact, at this point in the story, there is already a certain answer. This so-called group of devils may be a conservative elite force within the university.
9. Because of the acid rain in the victim's eyes, Reynolds asked the mountaineering woman to come to the prehistoric glacier with him, because only the water in the glacier contained acid rain. They sampled primitive glaciers, and Reynolds entered a prehistoric ice cave and found something inside the ice.
10. The young policeman found the local and moved his hands without a word, and finally they said that they saw a man driving a white lada car in the cemetery.
12. The two lines finally intersect. The new thing Reynolds found in the prehistoric ice cave was a corpse, identified as named Sophie; the young policeman also found the name Sophieli through the car inspection, as shown above the two policemen met at Sophie's residence. They found a large number of dogs in the room, including those alive and dissected.
13. Renault takes the young policeman to the morgue to continue the examination of Sophie's body. It was found to be also baby-like, with the hand cut off, and the forensic doctor said that the eye was re-installed in the hospital or clinic.
14. Renault stayed as the young policeman went straight to the home of the ophthalmologist (who had just looked for it once) and found that the hospital was hanging up, the eye had just been removed, and it was still dripping blood. Suddenly a man came out from behind the curtain, and the two policemen chased after him together, who wanted Reynolds to fall, and the gun fell into the hands of the stranger, who took the gun and shot at The head of Renault, deliberately not killing Renault. After the shooting, the stranger fled, and the young policeman chased all the way but finally did not catch up due to physical weakness.
15. Police then compare fingerprints and find that the person who shot Renault was the same as Judy, who died 20 years ago. The two policemen finally sat down and exchanged all the results of the investigation. The dead Milan, Sophie, and ophthalmologists all point to this mysterious and excellent university, and all that needs to be found out is whether Judy is really dead.
16. Renault encounters the mountaineering woman when he sets out to investigate the case, and Renault initially suspects her, but feels that she is not strong enough to commit the crime. Finally Renault came to the library to ask milan what the doctoral dissertation was, the library people said that it was the Nazi set of excellent racial intermarriage theory, Renault was even more suspicious of the university and the president, just as he pinched the headmaster's neck, the young police officer showed Renault the photo from the cemetery, and recognized it as the mountaineering woman.
17. Renault finally understands that these dead people are all doing something, and that the university is flawed in the isolation of the superior race for several generations, so the school doctor (that is, the second dead midwife) secretly exchanges newborns to add new blood to the university. Judy is arranged to marry the principal's son, but it seems that she does not intend to live as planned. So on their way to find Judy (the mountaineering woman), the two policemen are murdered by the headmaster's son, but are killed by Renault. They arrived at Judy's residence to find that the room was empty, but had taken the grenade with them.
18. The last two policemen rush to find Judy in the snowtop, and find Judy's twin sister Fanny, Fanny and Judy look exactly the same, but her existence is the denial and disclosure of the whole blood exchange plan, so their mother planned it all. Eventually the kind Judy turns the gun on her sister, and an avalanche saves the two officers and Judy. The movie ends.
