Anything for Her

Police storm the Aucler apartment and arrest Lisa for the murder of her boss. The case hinges on the fire extinguisher blow and Lisa's fingerprints on the weapon, bringing a swift end to their peaceful life. She is taken into custody, leaving Julien to confront an unresolved tragedy.

At the cour d'assises, Lisa is convicted of murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The verdict cements her status as the prime suspect in the crime. Julien watches from the outside, beginning a new, desperate effort to prove her innocence.

Three years pass with Lisa imprisoned and Julien relentless in his quest for proof of her innocence. He digs through old evidence, follows leads, and builds a complicated plan, though nothing conclusive materializes. The weight of the case drives him to seek drastic options.

The investigation revisits the parking lot where the boss was killed with a fire extinguisher. Lisa's fingerprints are found on the extinguisher, and blood smears her coat. A flashback reveals an unknown woman who killed the boss, stole her purse, and bumped into Lisa, muddying the moral landscape.

Julien consults Henri Pasquet, a notorious ex-con who has escaped prison multiple times and written about his methods. Pasquet outlines a ruthless 'key' to freedom: cut ties, flee abroad, fake documents, and survive by cash for years. Julien absorbs the plan and begins to map out his own path.

Back home, Julien anchors his plan on a wall-sized mind map filled with prison diagrams and escape ideas. He starts studying the prison’s routines, observing guards and security gaps to search for a possible 'key' to freedom. The map becomes a visual blueprint for his risky endeavor.

Dr. Gardes warns Julien that Lisa, who is diabetic, has refused her insulin for several days. Julien fears she is attempting suicide to spare Oscar the pain of separation, complicating the plan to break her out. The warning intensifies the urgency of the escape.

Julien heads into a rough neighborhood to procure fake documents but is mugged by two men posing as dealers. The setback exposes the extreme risks of his plan and pushes him toward a riskier but faster alternative. His determination remains unshaken despite the assault.

A biker approaches with an offer to deliver fake documents within a week for a fee of €2,500. The deal promises speed and anonymity, which are crucial given Lisa's looming transfer. Julien weighs the costs and potential risks before committing.

Julien steals Lisa's medical records from a delivery van to back up their cover story and raises cash by selling his furniture. The stolen data becomes a critical part of the fake documentation stack. The cash windfall enables the next phase of their escape.

With Lisa slated for transfer to Rennes within days, Julien tries to rob a bank but aborts at the last moment. In desperation, he targets a drug dealer, leading to a gunfight that leaves the dealer dead but yields a large sum of money for the escape. The violence underscores the fragility and peril of his plan.

Julien tears the mind map from the wall and discards it in a dumpster, signaling a break with the old plan. He then sneaks into a medical delivery van and plants an altered version of Lisa's records. The act marks a decisive turn toward a more covert operation.

The couple flees France, reuniting with Oscar and heading toward Liège, Belgium. As police close in on the hospital and the forged records, the Auclers vanish, heading toward San Salvador to complete their escape. The chase reaches a critical, largely successful conclusion for them.

Investigators retrieve the destroyed mind map but recognize it is too late to stop the escape. The Auclers have already fled, leaving France for a new life abroad. The story closes with the couple’s successful evasion and a final question about justice.
