Film Synopsis
Sami and Anna have lived together for two years and have two
children. Sami is high-flying police officer who has leapt up the
promotional ladder, with the help of his brother-in-law Richard.
One day, the body of a garage owner is found at the bottom of a
swimming pool. As he investigates the crime, Sami realises he is
revisiting his own past. Ten years ago, four shady individuals in
a car park, gunshots, blood... hazy recollections that are like
the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Sami doesn't yet know that the
killer he is pursuing is already known to him...

The greatest French film directors
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
