What happens

Comedy Of Innocence (French: Comédie De L'Innocence) is a 2000 French psychological mystery film directed by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz and starring Isabelle Huppert. It is co-scripted by Ruiz and Françoise Dumas. The film is produced by Mact Productions, distributed by Canal+, CNC, TF1, Les Films du Camelia. The film was loosely adapted from Massimo Bontempelli's novel The Boy with Two Mothers. The music is composed by Jorge Arriagada, a Chilean composer who collaborated with Ruiz on other films such as Shattered Image and Three Lives and Only One Death, indicating a common practice for Ruiz to collaborate with the same core crew members over multiple films.
