Polisse



Maïwenn : 2011

The daily grind for the members of the Police Department's Juvenile Protection Unit – taking in child molesters, busting underage pickpockets and chewing over relationship issues at lunch; interrogating abusive parents, taking statements from children, confronting the excesses of teen sexuality, enjoying solidarity with colleagues and laughing uncontrollably at the most unthinkable moments. Knowing the worst exists and living with it. How do these men and women balance their private lives and the reality they confront every working day? Fred, the group's hypersensitive wild card, is going to have a hard time facing the scrutiny of Mélissa, a photographer on a Ministry of the Interior assignment to document the unit. This poignant, authentic and confrontational police drama was winner of the Prix de Jury at Cannes 2011.
