Nominated for eight French César Awards, including Best Film and Best Director, Case 137, the latest feature from director Dominik Moll (The Night of the 12th; Harry, He's Here to Help), is a taut and gripping procedural crime drama set against the ‘Gilets Jaunes’ protests that swept through Paris in November 2018. Following one determined internal affairs investigator's search for the truth behind a violent street incident, Case 137 is a crime thriller in the tradition of the great investigative dramas told through a distinctly French lens.
Stéphanie Bertrand, portrayed by Léa Drucker (War of the Worlds), in a César and Lumière Award-winning performance, is a dogged police investigator at the IGPN, France's internal affairs unit, assigned to the case of a teenager critically injured by police fire during a Paris demonstration. Tasked with establishing responsibility, Stéphanie and her team meticulously gather testimony, scrutinises footage and questions the officers involved who make no secret of their hostility. But when she discovers the victim comes from her own hometown, the case turns personal, and her inquiry collides with mounting institutional resistance, forcing her to confront the fragile lines between truth, loyalty and justice.
