Directed by: Jean-Paul Salomé
Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Grégory Gadebois, François-Xavier Demaison, Pierre Deladonchamps, Alexandra Maria Lara
Based on the true story of Maureen Kearney, the head union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse,
who became a whistleblower, denouncing top-secret deals that shook the French nuclear sector. Alone against the world, she fought
government ministers and industry leaders, tooth and nail to bring the scandal to light and to defend more than 50,000 jobs... The
investigation is carried out under pressure: the subject is sensitive. Suddenly, new elements create doubt in the minds of the
investigators.
At first a victim, Maureen becomes a suspect.
"Huppert is a genuinely singular talent in modern European cinema, and her ability to take a role like this and infuse it with stillness and subterranean complexities is nothing less than mesmerising." The Times
