Meurtres sur les îles du Frioul

L'Ennui

Justine, 40, is struggling to reconcile her family life and her job as a police officer in the serious-crimes squad. Then she's accused of stealing money during a raid that goes wrong.

As a heat wave brings a Marseille neighbourhood to the boil, three roommates gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbours from their balcony. Until a late night drink turns into a bloody affair.

Residents of La Rouguière talk about their life in this unique district of Marseille which welcomed returnees from Algeria in 1962. As they testify, they summon the memories of a memory haunted by history and by the loss of loved ones.

Set in present-day Marseille, the new series stars Mamadou Sidibé as Malik El Djebenna, a drug mule who is incarcerated at the infamous Baumettes prison. There he crosses paths with a man from a fairly bourgeois segment of the local French-Arab community, played by Sami Bouajila, who unexpectedly becomes his mentor.
