The master plan - the split-second timing - the unexpected flaw...the crime that shocked Paris!

CrimeDramaThriller

Louis Bertain is the owner of a Paris garage which is the front for a robbery gang. He and his accomplices are careful to keep up a civic veneer by day, indulging in criminal activities only when "the red light is on" at night. This status quo is upset when one of the gang members becomes convinced that Louis' younger brother is a police informer.

VIBE

A meticulously crafted crime thriller that oozes paranoia. The film's atmosphere is thick with suspicion, making every shadowed corner and hushed conversation feel dangerous. It's a masterclass in building dread, where trust erodes with each passing moment.
