About this event
FilmMathieu has long distanced himself from his Turkish roots in his pursuit of social advancement, much to the dismay of his family. A brilliant lawyer, he handles high-profile cases for powerful multinational corporations at a prestigious firm and is on the verge of becoming partner to his mentor, Claude. His plans are upended when his sister asks him to defend Abdullah, a young Turkish man from their community who has been the victim of a racist attack by a European parliament member – an assault Abdullah is determined to take to court. Convinced he can use the case to advance his firm, Mathieu plunges headlong into a spiral of lies, betrayal and violence. Caught in a shadowy web of European political corruption, he must fight not only for justice, but against the hidden power and ruthless brutality of the Parliament itself. Unifrance
