In presence of Stéphane Bergmans, Benjamin d’Aoust, Matthieu Donck (creators), Wednesday november 9.
A policeman implicated in the sordid murder of his own wife? Her lover leads the investigation. With red herrings and dramatic twists aplenty, this Franco-Belgian production defies every stereotype of the genre.
A car pushed into a ravine, the body of an unconscious woman, and a man who starts a fire… This is the story of a Belgian police officer who kills his wife by faking a terrible car accident. Or so it seems. In actual fact, this is the story of the victim's lover, a French gendarme, who has worked it all out and whom nobody will believe. And so the end of the first episode takes the audience, still gasping for breath, on a completely different adventure. Featuring unexpected twists and turns and dramatic developments, this story masterfully written by the three creators of The Break makes use of tried-and-true thriller elements and transposes them to a rural community on the French-Belgian border. The highly developed characters break with all the stereotypes of the genre. What if, ultimately, they were all good people?
