Plot
Wounded while on a clandestine operation in Niger, French secret agent Mata loses track of her colleague Antoine, captured on the spot. Upon her return, she volunteers for a counter-espionage mission in the Alps, with the intuition that this new assignment might somehow be connected to her traumatic mission in Africa.
Sinekatalog’s take
A French spy thriller about a wounded agent who volunteers for a counter-espionage mission in the Alps, haunted by an operation in Niger. Trauma and suspicion run through it. For viewers who prefer cerebral, tense espionage over action spectacle.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
