A Police Romance

Running time: 96 mins

For these officers, facing their feelings is more dangerous than dodging bullets.

Jamil is a young French-Algerian rookie whose hotheaded approach to criminals makes him the odd man out at the Parisian police department, where he?s been assigned to. Emilie is his superior, a forty-something narcotics captain with the death of one of her men on her conscience. Brought together over shootouts, drug busts, and stakeouts, the two struggle to infiltrate a complex underworld connection but keep getting sidetracked by Jamil?s family, not to mention their growing desire for each other.

Working in the distinguished tradition of hard-hitting French thrillers that also include Bertrand Tavernier?s L.627, director Stéphanie Duvivier infuses suspense with wounded humanism and a critique of racial tensions, enhanced by exceptional performances and an awareness of how perilous feelings can become in the line of duty.
