Synopsis
Stéphanie, an investigator for IGPN (the police internal affairs), views Case 137 as routine: investigating a young man severely wounded during a chaotic Paris demonstration. Although her initial findings show no illegitimate police violence, the case becomes deeply personal. She discovers the victim is from her hometown, a revelation that troubles her and transforms the file from a simple number into a complex, self-driven challenge.
