An MHz Choice subscriber favorite, Movie of the Week (Film & Picture) is exactly what the title promises: a new (to MHz Choice) French TV movie every week – feature-length, standalone stories spanning the gamut of genres.

Jonathan (Bruno Debrandt, The Traveller, Spiral, Murder In…)  and Anaïs (Audrey Fleurot, Spiral, A French Village) have only been married a few months, but life together is a nightmare. Anaïs is unstable, cold in bed and often away visiting her sister. Or is she? When Jonathan learns that his estranged father has left him a huge fortune, all he needs is a divorce. Things are looking up when absent Anaïs gets into a serious car accident. But at the hospital, Jonathan finds another woman in his wife’s place – an incredibly beautiful woman.

But she’s paralyzed and unable to speak. Why was this perfect stranger’s purse filled with his wife’s identification? Where is the real Mrs. Hopkins? Jonathan is determined to find out…
