State Affairs
Directed by Eric Valette
Produced by Les Chauves-Souris, Studio 37
A tense political thriller about a lone investigator uncovering a web of state corruption and murder, driven by paranoia and institutional resistance.
A plane explodes above the Gulf of Guinea. An escort girl is murdered in a Parisian park. Thousands of miles separate these two events, and yet Nora Chahyd, believes there's a connection between them, much to his superiors chagrin. As Nora investigates, getting dangerously close to the powers that be, the murders and betrayals accumulate, and signs point to a state affair at the heart of it all.
