Presented on the Piazza Grande at the Locarno Film Festival, "Première Affaire" takes you behind the scenes of a judicial system that is often dehumanizing. Actress Noée Abita (known for Genèse) plays the role of Nora, a freshly graduated young lawyer who feels like she hasn't lived through anything when she's thrust into her first criminal case. From her first interrogation to the follow-up of the investigation, she discovers the cruelty of the world around her, both in her personal and professional life. Swept away by the frenzy of her new life, she makes a series of mistakes and questions her choices.
