'In The Open' is the English title.
The movie is to be released in France on June 13.

 Here is the plot summary:

Elisa, a thirty-eight-year old woman, leaves for a week with her husband and young daughter on a vacation to a house in the country.
Everything is going for her: she has a successful professional career, loves her family, has enough money for a comfortable life, and has plans for the future.
After arriving to the country, a strange feeling takes hold of her.
She starts feeling the presence of something that moves the treetops at night, makes the dogs howl, and wanders like the breath of a ghost across the infinite countryside.
A stinging feeling that kills all her certainties.

Argentinean director and screenwriter Hernán Belón co-wrote his feature film debut with Valeria Radivo. It is an Argentinean-French-Italian co-production which had it's world premiere at the International Film Critics Week in Venice 2011.

It tells the story about Elisa and Santiago and their little daughter Mathilda, who leaves their life in Buenos Aires and goes on vacation to a house they have rented in the countryside. The married couple are as happy as any couple in love could be, but already after the first night in their new temporary home, Elisa begins to feel uncomfortable about the place.
