Maniac background

Maniac

In the picturesque French countryside, a painter's secret affair with a local bar owner spirals out of control as they concoct a plan to eliminate her husband, a mentally unstable ex-con who has made a daring escape from a maximum-security prison.

A disillusioned drifter, Jeff, finds himself in a French bar, where he becomes enamored with Annette, the beautiful stepdaughter of the proprietor. However, Annette's stepmother, Eve, subtly manipulates Jeff's affections towards herself, and together they devise a scheme to free Eve's estranged husband, Georges, from an institution where he's been confined for committing a heinous crime. The plan goes awry, leading to unexpected consequences.
