Un Honnête Commerçant
by Philippe Blasband
GENRE Crime, Thriller LENGTH 93′ YEAR 2002
SYNOPSIS
Three hurried men, a briefcase in hand. A house, a peaceful family. Three killers. Muffled sounds, a couple of cartridges, some blood and four corpses. A gigantic, upsetting questioning room. Two police inspectors. A suspect. The man presumed to be behind the crime: Hubert Verkamen An honest shopkeeper. So calm, so peaceful, so innocent. A notorious trafficker. No lawyer by his side. But a fluid, light, impalpable presence. An ex underworld lord, his mentor… Tight duels. No mistakes allowed. Manipulation is the weapon. Domination is the goal. The result is a thriller.
