See the Sea

See the Sea (original title: Regarde la mer) is a 1997 French thriller film written and directed by François Ozon and starring Sasha Hails as a young British mother living in a small seaside village in France who takes in a malevolent homeless drifter (played by Marina de Van) while her husband is away on business.

An Englishwoman named Sasha lives on France's Île d'Yeu with her husband, who is often away for business, and their infant daughter, Sioffra.

One day a young female drifter appears at their door and asks Sasha for permission to pitch her tent in the garden.

Sasha decides to go shopping and leaves Sioffra in the care of the drifter, though irritated by the latter's unusual behavior.

The drifter, now wearing Sasha's dress, carries the crying Sioffra on a ferry leaving the island.
