Kristen Scott Thomas is toplining a kidnap-themed drama with a titles that translates as "Under Your Spell" or "Under Your Grip". Currently filming, the six-week shoot will take place until the first week of September in Angoulême and the city of lights and centres on a psychological theme that Patty Heart could perhaps relate to this. This tells the story of an abduction of a renowned surgeon by a man who holds her responsible for his wife’s death. A psychological battle begins between the kidnapper and his victim, but during the captivity, their relationship gradually develops into mutual affection (aided by the Stockholm syndrome).
