Film Synopsis
Early one morning in Bobigny, in the northern suburbs of Paris, the
body of a dead woman is found near to an illicit gambling joint.
The dead woman is Eponine Chaligny, the wife of Jean-Éric
Chaligny, an influential French businessman. The murder has taken
place at a time of severe social unrest in France, and this is
reflected in the two contrasting individuals who are assigned to
investigate the crime: local cop Ousmane Diakité and Parisian
police chief François Monge, two people who inhabit very
different worlds...
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
