00:00It's a normal day at the office, and Vincent, in a very rude way, asks the intern to bring him coffee.
00:05A few moments later, the intern looks at Vincent while he is working at his desk, and suddenly he starts beating him with his laptop.
00:11The rest of the employees immediately call the intern, and Vincent is sent to recover from his wounds.
00:16After that, the boss says that the stress probably affected the young man, and that he will no longer hire interns.
00:22He also explains that filing a complaint usually leads nowhere, but still offers Vincent to talk to human resources,
00:28however, Vincent is satisfied that he will forget about the incident.
00:31When he returns to his desk, Vincent has no feeling that everyone in the office is watching him.
00:36In the evening, Vincent goes home and spends some time looking for a potential girlfriend on the dating app.
00:42He also takes a picture of his injury and publishes it on social networks with a cheap quote to get a lot of emotional comments.
00:49The next day at the office, Vincent is working at his desk when suddenly his colleague grabs his hand and starts beating him with a pencil in his hand.
00:56Again, they have to separate them, and Vincent immediately runs away, causing the attacker to regain consciousness.
01:01Later, after the doctor put a bandage on his hand, they, the attackers, go to the human resources to talk about the incident,
01:07but they cut the video that the colleague recorded on the phone.
01:10The attacker says that he was not in his normal state and swears that he does not remember anything before he starts crying.
01:16The human resources manager is guilty of stress and too much workload, and Vincent does not want to file a complaint,
01:21so the meeting ends by the attacker and Vincent breaking up.
01:24After that, the second boss asks Vincent to work in the distance, because obviously something about him worries people.
01:30Before he leaves, Vincent asks his colleague to check social networks to see if there are any bad rumors about him, but he finds nothing.
01:37In the evening, Vincent has a meeting with a woman he met on the dating app in a restaurant.
01:42Their conversation is going well and they get along, but Vincent can't help but look at the window because the attacker is constantly looking at him.
01:48Suddenly, the man starts walking towards the restaurant, but when he crosses the street, he is hit by a car.
01:53Frightened, Vincent decides to leave.
01:55On the way home, he can't help but feel that everyone is watching him on the street, so in the end he takes a taxi.
02:00The next day, Vincent goes cycling and when he stops at a red light, he notices a driver in a car watching him without blinking.
02:07Frightened, Vincent ignores the red light and runs as fast as possible, but soon the car follows him.
02:13In the end, he accidentally falls off the bike, but at least it allows him to turn around and the car leaves without seeing him.
02:19When he returns home, Vincent searches the internet for news related to mysterious cases of violence and finds many examples of people who suddenly dissociate and attack anyone near them.
02:29There are also many videos recorded by people on their phones about such incidents that happen at sports events and in shopping malls.
02:37The next day, Vincent goes to a psychologist.
02:39Unfortunately, the man doesn't believe the story about attackers with empty faces and says that Vincent may want any attention, causing the reaction of others.
02:47Vincent goes home and starts organizing the details he knows so far.
02:51The attacks start with eye contact, so he needs to know how to stop.
02:55He goes out on the balcony and greets the neighbor, who first greets him with good manners.
03:00However, after a few glances, his face becomes empty and throws things at Vincent, who immediately hides.
03:06After waiting a few seconds, Vincent goes out again and notices that the neighbor is confused about what happened.
03:12He also adds that the contact interruption also ends the attack.
03:15Later, Vincent receives a package with his latest purchase, a paralyzer, leaves and a tear gas.
03:21Then he spends a few moments practicing how to react quickly with the paralyzer in his hand.
03:26Feeling safe, Vincent goes for a walk, holding his shoulder up.
03:30When he returns home, the neighbor's children see him coming and suddenly attack him.
03:35Vincent tries to push them away without hurting them, but the children continue to try and bite him, so Vincent has no choice but to throw them on the floor.
03:42At that moment, his mother sees him, who immediately calls him a rapist, but at least he stops the attack and Vincent can run away to hide in the apartment.
03:50Soon all the other neighbors gather in front of the door and do not believe him when he says that the children attacked first.
03:55Scared, Vincent sets up a tent in front of the door to prevent them from entering.
03:59When the neighbor finally gives up and leaves, Vincent packs his most important things and leaves, making sure to keep his shoulder up.
04:05He takes a taxi to his old house, where he finds out that his father Jean-Pierre lives with a new girl.
04:11Vincent drives his father's car and keys to the family weekend, but when he asks to spend the night, Jean-Pierre informs him that his children's room is being renovated.
04:19Vincent's options are a couch or a garage, where all his old things are in boxes.
04:24Seeing that he is obviously drunk, Vincent decides to leave, but first he goes back to the garage to take some of his old things and a protective jacket.
04:31After a few hours of driving, Vincent stops in the store to buy some food, while behind the table in the park, a homeless man named Joachim and his dog come to him.
04:40Thinking that he will be attacked, Vincent tries to leave, but Joachim begs him to stay and promises that he is safe.
04:46Joachim watched him buy food and avoid looking at anyone, so he can say that Vincent is the same as him.
04:52Vincent stops sharing his food while Joachim shares his story, this lasts seven months for him and has become so bad that he had to leave the job of a university professor.
05:02He doesn't know what caused it, but he knows that there are others like him who subscribe to forums and blogs.
05:07Joachim is recommended by the one he uses, called The Watchman Blog.
05:11There, they talk about survival techniques themselves, since even going to the hospital can be dangerous.
05:16In fact, Joachim is not his real name, it is a username he uses on the forum.
05:20Before Joachim leaves, he tells Vincent to get a dog because he will not attack him and can warn him of any danger.
05:27After that, Vincent goes to the gas station and fills the tank, trying to hide from other drivers.
05:32Unfortunately, a man parks next to him and sees him taking the shovel from his truck and getting ready to attack.
05:38Vincent immediately enters his car and runs without paying.
05:42After driving all night, Vincent finally arrives at his family weekend and concludes the front entrance with a chain.
05:48Then he uses his laptop to find the website that Joachim told him about, but to leave a message, he has to create an account.
05:55To do this, the website asks him to first delete all his accounts on social networks.
06:00Without hesitation, he deletes all his accounts and makes a new one on a mysterious website using the username Dave17.
06:07Some time later, Vincent orders food online and when the delivery man comes, Vincent orders him to leave the box next to the door and does not take it until the delivery man leaves.
06:15At that moment, the neighbor sees him and comes to say hello.
06:18The woman is very nice, but the faces of her daughters are slowly changing and trying to catch him, so Vincent quickly goes back inside.
06:25Then Vincent again accesses the website and finds Joachim's profile, so they start talking to each other via direct messages.
06:32The next time Vincent goes to the toilet, he discovers that the toilet is clogged.
06:36He goes out to check the septic tank that shares with the neighbor, discovering that it is overflooded.
06:41At that moment, a repairman comes, who was called by the neighbor, and Vincent tries his best to avoid eye contact, but unfortunately, the man still reacts and jumps on Vincent.
06:50The men begin to fight, and after a lot of fighting, the attacker throws Vincent on a pile of garbage to knock him out.
06:56Vincent quickly makes the man fall, and they run after the garbage while the guy starts pushing Vincent, who manages to find a stone and uses it to hit the man on the head until he dies.
07:05Then Vincent quickly washes the worst off and leaves with the body in the trunk of his car.
07:11When he opens the trunk far enough, he discovers that the man is still alive.
07:15Vincent asks if he should be spared, but the man attacks again, so Vincent ends the job with a slap.
07:21After throwing the body, he returns home and basically suffocates there.
07:24He finds some scars on his body, so he stitches them up.
07:28The next day, Vincent goes to the dog shelter and picks up his pet.
07:31All the dogs bark, except for one good boy who laughs at him, so Vincent takes him in and calls him Sultan.
07:37They go to the beach and play together, but soon a family comes and starts walking towards Vincent.
07:42Sultan immediately looks to warn him and runs away together.
07:45At home, Vincent takes a picture with Sultan and a paralyzer and sends it to him.
07:50One evening, he drives to a fast food restaurant and orders on his phone, asking to be brought to him because he is disabled.
07:55Margaux is the one who brings him food and realizes that it is raw meat for Sultan, so he calls him Sweet.
08:01When he asks what Vincent's disability is, he admits that he is paralyzed, but Margaux does not mind because he likes to have an excuse to rest from the client inside.
08:08Later at home, he searches for Margaux's profile on social networks and begins to feel sympathy.
08:13The next day, Vincent begins to practice and watch self-defense videos.
08:17When he hears his neighbor talking loudly outside, he looks through the window and finds his mother criticizing his daughter for her inappropriate behavior.
08:25Soon, people on the forums start talking about barricading their houses or even running into the mountains.
08:30For now, Vincent decides to cover all his windows.
08:33He also asks Joaquim if he ever met anyone, so Joaquim admits that he is married and that he had to leave his wife.
08:39He misses her a lot, but he always fights against the urge to go see her.
08:43In the evening, Vincent gets out of the car and finds the road blocked by the police.
08:48The best thing he can do is avoid eye contact while the policeman explains the situation to him and tells him to take the other road.
08:54Fortunately, Vincent manages to leave without any problems.
08:56After that, they go to the fast food restaurant, and Margaux brings food again.
09:00At that moment, two cyclists come to the restaurant, so the frightened Margaux turns on Vincent's car and asks him to take him away.
09:06To thank Vincent for the service, Margaux asks him to go to the bar to buy him a beer.
09:11He brings two, and while they drink together, cyclists appear and ask Margaux to lend them money.
09:16When he sees Vincent and one of the guys becomes empty, the sultan starts barking, so Vincent uses a paralyzer to make him unconscious.
09:23Then another hooligan tries to hit Vincent, but he hits him first and rushes into the car with Margaux to escape.
09:29Suddenly, the sultan begins to cut, and Margaux jumps on Vincent to attack him.
09:33Vincent tries to push him away, while he still drives in a rather unruly way, and after a few blows, he manages to make Margaux aware just in time to avoid the blow.
09:42A few moments later, Margaux wakes up in the room in Vincent's house and finds the door locked.
09:47Outside the room, Vincent begs her to close her eyes, then leads her out and puts the leaflet in his car.
09:53In the end, they arrive at the supermarket, and Vincent gets out of the car to approach the man nearby, but the guy feels strange and leaves with his car.
10:00Then Vincent enters the supermarket, and Margaux is surprised to hear the sultan's barking.
10:05At that moment, Vincent comes out, dozens of people are chasing him and throwing things at him.
10:10He manages to get into the car before they catch him, but the crowd surrounds the car and even breaks the window.
10:15Vincent wants to move by moving the car, and the group manages to escape safely.
10:20Margaux finally realizes what happened last night, and believes his story.
10:24A few moments later, they arrive at Margaux's house, which turns out to be a hut.
10:29They share a few drinks and food, and after a little chatting, they end up kissing.
10:34Things quickly escalate, and they decide to have an intimate relationship, which is a little uncomfortable, because they constantly put leaves on one of Margaux's hands for different surfaces in case of another attack.
10:44By the time they finish, it's night and Margaux is craving for a cigarette.
10:47Vincent goes out to get them in his car and receives a call from Joachim, who announces that he has been cured.
10:52He doesn't know how or why, but no one attacks him anymore.
10:55Joachim wants Vincent to be lucky and breaks the tie before he finally goes to see his wife.
11:00After that, Vincent and Margaux share a few joints and sleep together.
11:04In the middle of the night, Vincent wakes up when he hears the sultan's barking, and finds Margaux attacking him, so he hits him to knock him out and runs outside.
11:12A few minutes later, Margaux calls him back, but he doesn't mind him defending himself.
11:17While Vincent worries about the wound he has on him, Margaux asks him if their relationship can succeed.
11:21Suddenly, the sultan starts barking and hears a voice that Margaux recognizes as the owner of a neighboring boat.
11:27Soon, more and more voices are heard as they move away, so the group decides to leave.
11:31They drive back to the city, shocked when they find a fire that has taken over the house and its surroundings.
11:36When they look better, they are horrified when they find a body that Vincent recognizes as his neighbor.
11:41Then they go around the house to enter Vincent's house through the back door, avoiding the fire, just to find Jean-Pierre with a gun in his hand.
11:48His face has multiple wounds and explains that a group of rapists killed his girlfriend.
11:53The repetition of the story brings him to a standstill, and Vincent manages to force him to drop his gun before it burns him to comfort him.
12:00After that, Jean-Pierre and Margaux go to sleep while Vincent checks the message from Jacques.
12:05He says that things didn't go well with his wife and that she destroyed his soul, so he writes to say goodbye before he goes to destroy himself.
12:12He also leaves him a map with the coordinates of all the shelters organized by their website.
12:17Vincent tries to name him, but Jacques announces that he is already dead.
12:22In the morning, the group leaves by car to the shelter, holding Margaux and Jean-Pierre's hands tied behind their backs.
12:28On the way to work, they hear news of a wave of violence that floods the country, and the minister advises everyone not to leave their homes.
12:34In the end, there is a road blocked by a pile of cars, because everyone is trying to escape at the same time, and Vincent cannot drive back because cars are appearing behind him.
12:43Anger grows with the situation, and almost everyone is fighting on the road.
12:47Jean-Pierre wants revenge for his girlfriend, so he takes his hands and joins the crowd.
12:51Vincent goes after him to save him, while many people are running around killing each other in the most brutal way.
12:57When he finally finds his father, Vincent sees an empty look and prepares to defend himself, but Jean-Pierre instead attacks the woman and kills her.
13:04The sultan appears next to Vincent, but does not make a sound, which gives Vincent the information that no one else is attacking him.
13:10More people fill the area, and Vincent pushes them away, but cannot find his father.
13:15In the meantime, Margaux has to watch as one person kills another on the hood of Vincent's car.
13:20At that moment, he finds the key to the keyhole and frees himself to follow Vincent, who refuses to leave without Jean-Pierre.
13:26Margaux finds out that he will be killed if he stays, so he runs the main road and takes a path through the forest.
13:31After a few hours of walking, Vincent's face suddenly becomes empty and attacks Margaux.
13:36While he is suffocating, she fights him and manages to cover his eyes, which stops him.
13:41Vincent feels terrible and allows Margaux to tie his eyes with a piece of his shirt before he continues.
13:47When they come to the city on the roofs, there are snipers who shoot air to scare them.
13:51While he is running, Margaux sees an abandoned car, so he throws the driver's body and takes the vehicle to return to the river.
13:57There, Skida ties Vincent's love before returning to his boat.
14:01After thinking for a few seconds, Vincent and Sultana join the group and sail away together.
14:06Margaux puts Vincent in a leash just in case, but also hugs him while promising each other that they will start a new life together.
