Film Synopsis
Philippe, a man in his mid-40s, runs a fire-fighting brigade in the south
of France. Bénédicte, a younger woman, is a recent recruit
and has to endure a veritable baptism of fire that causes her to wonder if
she had made the right career choice. In the midst of a protracted
heat wave there are more fires than usual, and some are obviously of criminal
origin. When one of the people she rescues dies from his injuries Bénédicte
is on the point of abandoning her job, but a few well-chosen words from Philippe
prompt her to have second thoughts. Before the summer is out, Bénédicte
and her brave colleagues will have their work cut out as they become the
target of some of the nastiest thugs in the suburbs...
