Colette, a film professor specializing in the work of Alfred Hitchcock, suspects her new neighbour across the way, Yann Kerbec, of having killed his wife. Reality or professional bias? Her husband François, a writer of somewhat old-fashioned historical detective novels, is at first skeptical of Colette’s obsession with this alleged crime. He nevertheless gets drawn into the far-fetched investigation, and as clues pile up and the mystery deepens, this ordinary couple turns into an outstanding detective duo. So, was there really a crime on the 3rd floor?
Translated from Allociné
- « A joyful homage to Hitchcock, carried by the delightful chemistry between Laetitia Casta and Gilles Lellouche. » — Le Figaro
- “This film is a dynamic little theater whose performers, delightful, take a mischievous pleasure in embodying their roles. No doubt about it: the crime is perfect.”
Translated from Version Femina
- “This thriller, packed with humor, will appeal to fans of the genre. Attention is held right to the end.”
Translated from Public
- “Fresh and funny, this unpretentious variation on a Hitchcock film is a little cinematic treat.”
