Why we chose it

Dominik Moll found this story in a book by a journalist who spent a year embedded with France’s criminal police, and he built the film around one of its cases, a young woman set alight on her way home. About one in five cases like hers is never solved.

Synopsis

Clara was twenty-one and walking home from a friend’s place at night when someone doused her in petrol and set her alight. Her file lands on the desk of Yohan Vivès only days after he takes over the murder squad in Grenoble, and he and his team start working through every man she knew. There are a lot of them.
