Tiphaine Raffier is a young author and director with great originality. In order to allow you to discover her singular work, we have decided to present you with two of her last creations in 2020,  France-fantôme, for which we offer a preferential rate.

After the death of his mother, the young Davy switches jobs and partners up in his godfather’s farm. It starts well but when trouble arrives, Davy cannot refrain from the timeless question : where does evil come from ?
Following the investigations of anthropologist Jeanne Favret-Saada on farm witchcraft, Tiphaine Raffier has crafted a thriller that teases our desire to « find the vilain - because there must be one » and reveal more proficiently than in a capitalistic regime, « wizard system without wizards », the culprits who hide where you least expect them to.
