Eggs, sugar, dark cocoa powder, flour and cherries. The sponge cake is layered with cream, the sides are sprinkled with chocolate. The preparation of a tasty dessert is only a prelude to the full reconstruction of a crime investigation, full of surprises, humour and drama. The fact that we soon learn WHO killed is irrelevant because something else is at stake in this game. Philippe David Gagné and Jean-Marc E. Roy, who have been working together on documentaries and fiction films since 2008, know how to keep the viewers in suspense and grip them from the first to the last take.
