UNDERCOVER

October 2015. Following a lead from an ex-undercover agent of the Narcotics squad, a Libération journalist embarks on an investigation into a drug-trafficking operation with ties to the highest authorities in the State police. Between shadow and light, the always captivating Roshdy Zem, Pio Marmaï and Vincent Lindon play a cat and mouse game in a gripping labyrinthine intrigue, told on a human scale. No need for flying bullets when all the tension is in the crackling dialogues. According to Écran Large, “the strength of the script is to never abandon the doubts of its protagonists, but to make them the sole emotional drive of the story.”
