Haute Saison
Directed by Clément MichelIn Biarritz, while summer crowds flood the coastline and the sun scorches the boardwalks, reinforcements arrive from across France to back up the local police. Among them is Alex, a Parisian cop with a smile that hides more than it reveals. He signed up for this seaside assignment under the pretense of chasing sun and surf-but his real reasons are far less carefree. On the surface, Alex plays the part: the affable guy with a knack for karaoke, the life of the party, always game for a cold drink or a midnight swim. But behind the mirrored shades and easy laughs, something darker lingers-an old case gone cold, or a personal vendetta. Partnered with an assembled unit of voluntary from all corners of the country, Alex is pulled into a murky investigation. What starts as a simple case of fraudulent vacation rentals soon unravels into something far more sinister. As the festive nights blur into tense stakeouts and whispered threats, the summer task force walks a tightrope between cocktails and crime scenes. In this postcard-perfect town, the shadows are long, and the sun can't burn away the secrets buried in the sand.
