K.O. (2017)
Directed by Fabrice Gobert

Thriller / Drama

Film Synopsis

Antoine Leconte is an arrogant, power-hungry media executive with a reputation for domineering ruthlessness.  During one particularly stressful day he collapses and falls into a coma, as much to the distress of his devoted wife Suzanne as to himself.  When he comes to, Antoine notices a scar on his chest and convinces himself that someone must have taken a pot shot at him with a gun.  He cannot accept the more likely story given to him by his entourage, that he suffered a near-fatal heart attack and would have died without immediate surgical intervention.  Antoine's vague sense of unease grows as he gradually begins to see that things are not what they once were, in both his private and professional life.  Is he imagining things or can it be that he is the victim of a fantastic conspiracy...?
