Synopsis
Henri Rainier has everything a man could want. A glamorous wife, two beautiful daughters and a well-paid job with a large bank. Then, one day, his entire world collapses. In the wake of a high-profile financial scandal, he is summoned into his director's office and accused of negligence. Rainier has no choice but to resign, but he soon realises that he has been made a scapegoat. He begins his own investigation in an attempt to clear his name and discover who is responsible for the enormous hole in the bank's finances. It soon becomes apparent that he is up against a very powerful and dangerous opponent.

Mood and atmosphere
Dive into a world of sharp suits and sharper betrayals, where the glimmer of wealth masks an undercurrent of anxiety and existential dread. Experience the atmosphere of high-stakes finance, where the tension is palpable and the quest for truth becomes a haunting reflection of identity and morality. This film evokes feelings of loneliness amidst the bustling cityscape, casting a shadow over the bright lights of ambition. With its minimalist style and a soundtrack that resonates with the pulse of desperation, it paints a portrait of rebellion against the confines of a gilded cage, perfect for those seeking a narrative that intertwines nostalgia for lost innocence with a gritty exploration of human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
