Synopsis
L'Autre est la rencontre entre Laurent (Kuenhen), jeune homme vivant dans une institution spécialisée, et le couple que forment Claire (Dominique Baeyens) et Pierre (Philippe Grand'Henry). Ce couple un peu bo-bo, va avoir son premier enfant mais Claire attend des jumeaux. Elle va lâcher prise face à cette responsabilité supplémentaire et inattendue et recourt à une réduction de grossesse qui ne laisse subsister qu’un des deux fœtus. Cet acte médical reposant « uniquement » sur des motifs psychologiques va éloigner imperceptiblement Pierre de Claire (et inversement). Pierre parti, Claire va alors sortir de sa bulle en travaillant comme éducateur dans l’institution de Laurent.Actors

After miraculously recovering from a bullet wound to the head, Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) returns to Vermont in 1992, suffering from periods of amnesia. While walking, he sees a young girl, Jackie (Laura Marano), and her alcoholic mother (Kelly Lynch) in despair beside their broken-down truck. Starks and Jackie quickly form a certain affinity; she asks him to give her his dogtags and he does so. He gets the truck started for them and continues on his way. Shortly after, a man driving along the same highway gives Jack a ride and they get pulled over by a policeman. The scene changes: Starks is found lying on the deserted roadside near the dead policeman, with a slug from the policeman's gun in his body. The murder weapon is on the ground nearby. Although he testifies there was someone else at the scene, he is not believed because of his amnesia. Starks is found not guilty by reason of insanity and is incarcerated in a mental institution.
