This film opens with Lydia rushing home with a birthday cake, only to be greeted by her partner Julien telling her that he had slept with another woman last night. Tearfully, she dashes off from this breakup scene to a birthday party for Salome, her best friend. At the party Salome and Lydia escape to the bathroom where Salome reveals that she has just discovered that she is pregnant. In just a few minutes the film has moved from heartbreak to happiness, and the roller coaster of emotions is off and running. While all of this is happening there is a voiceover explaining it all to us, from an as of yet unknown male character. Lydia is a midwife in Paris and there are many beautiful births shown during her working hours. After work she wanders the streets by herself and rides the bus alone. The voiceover mentions several events, and at one point says "all of this came out in the trial". Now our curiosity is really piqued. To say any more would spoil your adventure in watching The Rapture. Suffice it to say that this is a wonderfully constructed film that completely draws you in and keeps you guessing, and sometimes right on the edge of your seat. Hafsia Herzi, the lead actress playing Lydia, is absolutely terrific. This is the debut effort of writer/director Iris Keltenback, and I can't wait to see what she does next. This a story about loneliness, and secrets and lies, about connections and trust, and madness. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." - (Sir Walter Scott, 1808)
