Les Misérables

In the working-class suburb of Montfermeil, Brigadier Stéphane Ruiz embarks on a challenging assignment as part of an Anti-Crime Brigade unit alongside unscrupulous veterans Chris and Gwada. This area holds historical significance as it was where Victor Hugo wrote Les Misérables, yet modern-day tensions simmer between the local housing projects and the police force. Stéphane's mission is to bridge the gap with influential community leaders while maintaining a semblance of peace in the neighborhood.However, when an arrest takes an unexpected tragic turn, the three officers must grapple with the consequences of their actions while trying to prevent a violent mob reaction. As they navigate the complexities of policing and community dynamics inspired by the 2005 Paris riots, Stéphane and his colleagues are forced to confront the moral implications of their choices in a world where trust is hard-won. The film offers a nuanced exploration of race relations, police conduct, and societal divides set against the backdrop of historical and literary significance.
