🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tense political thriller, relying on real events and the intricate details of the European bureaucratic machine. It explores the mechanisms of pressure, corruption, and the courage of a lone individual challenging the system.
What lingers after viewing is a procedural puzzle without car chases, where documents are the primary weapons and the battlefield is the offices of Brussels. A sobering look at how fragile integrity can be. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Antoine Raimbault
