A detective series where "there are not only murders"

"What I liked about this scenario is the journey of this character, who begins the first episode with a lot of certainties, a lot of faults and a psychorigid living environment", explains to Europe 1 the actress Claire Borotra.

"Gradually, she will see everything around her collapse. It amused me a lot, because it allows humanity and invention to emerge. The fact of rebuilding speaks to everyone. It There's always a point in life when our beliefs break down. That's when it starts to get interesting."
