A grave, investigative drama that reconstructs the final days of a murdered teacher, grappling with the machinery of radicalization, violence, and loss.

Everyone knows the name of Samuel Paty, but few people really know his story. On October 16, 2020, Samuel Paty, professor of History-Geography, was murdered at the end of his college. In the light of investigations and trials, this film looks back on his last eleven days, and the gear that led to his tragic death.
