Dossier 137

Director Dominik Moll (La nuit du 12) skillfully transforms a social problem like institutional corruption into a personal story. During protests in Paris, a young man is injured by police brutality. Stéphanie (Léa Drucker Close, L'été dernier) works in the internal affairs department, investigating possible misconduct by the officers themselves. However, it proves difficult to find concrete evidence of unlawful police brutality.

But when Stéphanie discovers that the victim is from her own hometown, she can't let go of the case. There might be a witness. But what exactly did they see? Dossier 137 is both a study of power and violence and a refreshing whodunnit. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme d'Or.
