ANTIGONE 34

Set in Montpellier, France

In French with English subtitles

A new section of law enforcement is set up to fight crime.
Codename: Antigone 34

Under the pressure of an invisible and powerful enemy, Lea Hippolyte, a police commissioner and martial arts specialist joins forces with Victor, a marginal doctor wrongly disbarred, and with Helene, a non-conformist psycho-criminologist. Their investigations on “ordinary” crimes cross paths with much higher stakes and address universal topics. Filmed in Montpellier in the south of France, this series follows three characters with little in common joining forces to overcome common threats. Directed by Louis-Pascal Couvelaire, Roger Simonsz, 2012.
