La Deuxième vertelt het verhaal van Jean Barreau, die teruggetrokken op het platteland woont. Daar leidt hij een spirituele commune voor getormenteerde zielen en belooft hij hen de kans op een tweede leven.
Eén van de eerste gasten is Camille Griffon, een jonge dertiger op zoek naar een manier om haar leven op een betekenisvolle wijze in te vullen. Wanneer een tijdje later haar dubbelganger aan het huis verschijnt, leert Camille dat Jean zijn belofte van een tweede leven ook letterlijk waar kan maken. Gaandeweg begint de wispelturige Jean aan zijn eigen geloof te twijfelen.

Jean Barreau lives in a tiny village on the countryside, leading a small group of people looking for a second chance in life. Jean believes he has a gift, and that he can offer a new life to anyone who joins him in his house. When Camille Griffon comes to the commune, she quickly learns that Jean meant his promise of a second life literally, as the house is soon visited by her exact double. The troubled Fred Anouilh and the naive Nora Beaucarnot also arrive at the house, which leads Jean to find out that his newfound life as leader of a cult comes with certain responsibilities. Meanwhile, Jean is struggling with his own past.
La Deuxième has been selected for the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film (BIFFF), Brussels, Belgium; Durban International Film Festival, Durban, South-Africa and Raindance Film Festival, London, UK.
Jelle Stroo lives and works in Brussels, Belgium as a director and editor. La Deuxième is his second feature film, after Égoïste (2015), which had its international premiere at the Beijing International Film Festival.
La Deuxième was shot in a small village west of Paris, over a period of two and a half weeks. The house in the film is also the house where the whole team slept during the duration of the shoot, which made it into quite an intense situation. People were sleeping in every corner of the house and actor Gert De la Marche even had his eight month old daughter with him on set, but since the film tells the story of a young commune, this actually turned out to be quite inspiring as well.
The final Dolby Digital mastering of La Deuxième was done in the renowned Warnier Posta Studio in Amsterdam (where films like The Broken Circle Breakdown and Borgman were also mixed).
All music was specifically composed for the movie by the American composer Joe Formanek and French composer Julien Vieuloup, who also composed the music for Égoïste.
