En 1977, le corps d'une jeune femme, Samnian, est découvert le long de la voie de chemin de fer dans les plaines centrales de la Thaïlande. Elle a été violée et étranglée. Deux policiers intègres mènent l'enquête. Au début, les indices sont maigres : la victime est une voyageuse du train Bangkok-Chiang Mai qui souhaitait aller à Uttaradit ; elle n'avait pas de billet donc elle a été expulsée du train en pleine nature à la gare du petit village de Prompiram ; c'est une jolie jeune femme visiblement un peu attardée mentalement. Dans un premier temps, les enquêteurs se heurtent à un mur de silence. Puis peu à peu les langues se délient et l'affaire prend une ampleur considérable. Le crime dépasse l'entendement dans son horreur. Un politicien local influent essaie d'étouffer l'affaire. Les policiers désireux d'éclaircir coûte que coûte l'affaire continuent leurs investigations.Comments

Michel Descombes (Philippe Noiret) est horloger dans le quartier de Saint-Paul à Lyon. Un matin, deux policiers se présentent à son atelier et le questionnent sur son fils, sans vouloir lui dire ce qui est arrivé. Il est immédiatement accompagné hors de Lyon sur le lieu où sa camionnette a été retrouvée, vide. Là, le commissaire Guilboud (Jean Rochefort) lui apprend que son fils a tué un homme. Tout au long de l'enquête l'incompréhension entre père et fils se manifeste. Le fils en cavale est arrêté avec sa compagne, et ne s'explique que confusément sur son acte. Peu à peu, Michel se solidarise avec son fils (ce qu'il proclamera d'ailleurs lors du procès). Des échanges de propos anodins dans l'anonymat du parloir montrent, à la fin du film, qu'une véritable connivence s'est installée.
