Case 137

A tense and urgently topical crime drama in which Léa Drucker leads an internal investigation straight into the police’s moral grey zones.

Stéphanie works in the French police’s internal affairs department, investigating excessive use of force during the Yellow Vest protests. When a young man is shot in the head by riot police — from the same unit hailed as national heroes after the Bataclan attacks — the case quickly becomes explosive. As the investigation begins, the system pushes back with silence, collegial loyalty, and institutional resistance. Dominik Moll methodically traces every step of the inquiry, crafting a tightly wound procedural where the drama lies in the process rather than in sensational twists. A chilling and fiercely timely drama about a justice system pushed to its limits when forced to turn its gaze inward.
