The film centers on Stéphanie, an Internal Affairs officer investigating the case of a young man who was involved in a fatal incident during the Yellow Vest protests. As she digs deeper into the case, Stéphanie comes to discover that there was a violent police crackdown, yet all the officers within the department respond with indifference. Premiered in competition at last year's Cannes Film Festival, Dominik Moll's Case 137 is based on a true story from the Yellow Vest movement, exposing corruption within the police and the brutality of state power. While the narrative focuses on a specific incident, the film ultimately raises a critical voice against unjust power and acts of brutality occurring around the world. (Molly KIM)
