In presence of Domenico La Porta, Friday November 8.
A promising gendarme, Paul Chartier, takes part in Operation Maldoror to solve a child abduction case that never ceases to torment him. A shocking tale inspired by the Dutroux affair.
Using cinema as a means of exorcising one of Belgium's major recent traumas, Fabrice Du Welz draws freely on the Dutroux affair to create a thriller as breathtaking as it is disturbing. Against a backdrop of rivalry between different police forces, two young girls go missing. As the media hype mounts, Paul Chartier secretly joins Maldoror, a special operation to keep an eye on the main suspects. This uncompromising feature, starring Anthony Bajon in a complex role, blurs the line between good and evil in the face of inhuman crimes. Disturbing!
