CrimeDrama

Police commander Simon Weiss, head of the division that supervises Paris’s demi-monde, starts out on his nightly tour of bars, discos and strip clubs, making sure once again that the owners don’t bend the rules too far. Weiss knows he’s between a rock and hard place: it’s obvious that criminal gangs run rampant in his special domain, and even more obvious that they’re protected by higher-ups in the department.

VIBE

A dark, atmospheric dive into the underbelly of Paris. It's a world of smoky bars and moral ambiguity, where the line between law and crime blurs under the neon glow. Expect a slow burn of tension and a heavy dose of cynicism.
