DramaThriller
In Paris, Lulu, a passionate policeman, works with the faith of a rookie, despite the sclerotic bureaucracy and the incompetence or negligence of some of his colleagues. In his new position as a narcotics inspector, he tries to keep his sanity as he witnesses the worst of the human condition.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at the daily grind of a narcotics detective in Paris. It's a world of grim realities, bureaucratic frustrations, and the pervasive weight of human suffering. The film feels authentic and heavy, like a cold, damp Parisian night.
