During his investigations in the film environment, Commissioner Maurice LaBréa comes across many suspects. Mathieu Salmi, the young director of Molin's current production, takes the death of his client indifferently. Salmi is only interested in the completion of the film from which he hopes his breakthrough will be achieved. LaBréa does not hide the fact that Salmi's partner Caroline Becker, the big star of the film, had a forced affair with Molin. The behavior of Molin's wealthy widow Germaine is also obscure. Although she financed her husband's last production with 1.6 million euros from her private assets, she shows no interest in the completion of the film. The fragile woman is fixated on her young lover Vincent Brihac, for whom she tries to create a false alibi. However, the testimony of a taxi driver who drove Brihac to Molin's office on the night of the murder brought Germain's lover into the focus of the investigation. LaBréa also finds out that Molin hired the dodgy gigolo to influence Germaine in his favor. LaBréa, who forges delicate bonds with his pretty neighbor Céline during the turbulent investigation, is still not convinced of Brihac's guilt. When the inspector finally finds out that Molin was actually funding the film with extorted money, he holds the key to solving the case. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
