Synopsis

Three Parisian police officers are charged with driving a stranger back to the border. However, Virginie realizes their prisoner will most likely be killed upon return to his country and so goes about attempting to convince her fellow officers to release him.

Our take

Bringing a series of events into prismatic light with its Rashomon-effect structure, Anne Fontaine’s policier magnifies the repercussions of emotional entanglement in the workplace. Virginie Efira, Grégory Gadebois, and Omar Sy form an indomitable trifecta of French talent in this riveting film.
