Absurdist French comedy about the ongoing search for a killer on the loose - based on a true story
When Agent Zavatta, considered the best detective around, appears to recognise a killer on the loose at an airport, the authorities do not doubt his instincts. Immediately after landing in Copenhagen the man is arrested. Everyone he is convinced he is Paul Bernardin, a man who years ago murdered his wife and three children and has been on the run ever since. While Danish police interrogate him thoroughly, amateur sleuths Léa and Christine conduct their own investigation. They are determined to prove that this man, who claims to be innocent, is indeed the killer they are looking for. Their attempts to get him behind bar might get a little out of hand…
This film is loosely based on the disappearance of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnés, suspected of murdering his wife and their children. He still hasn’t been found.
