The French miniseries in six episodes – which Raiuno will broadcast in three premieres – starring Garance Thénault (“Crimes parfaits”, “Two boyfriends for Juliette”) is kicking off. The direction is by Grégory Ecale, the screenplay by Franck Ollivier. The cast also includes Pierre-Yes Bon (“No Limit”), Jérôme Anger (Bruno Jacquet in the series “Alice Nevers”), Elodie Frenck (the Marlène Leroy of “Little Murders by Agatha Christie”) and Vincent Winterhalter (“Nicolas Le Floch “). The story, a detective story between crimes and mysteries buried in the past in the background of Brittany, stars Lola Bremond, a girl from Bordeaux, who arrives in a town on the Breton coast for a job interview which, however, turns out to be false.

Instead she Lola continues to talk to the locals: in particular she comes into contact with the family of Georges Battaglia, whose daughter Inès was the best friend of Manon and who had hosted her. She also discovers that Éric, Inès’s brother, had had a brief affair with Manon herself, who was strongly opposed, however, by her father Georges and this fact had sparked ferocious gossip about the man’s true feelings towards the young girl. Suspicions also fall on Milo Jouen, an individual with a dubious reputation and handyman of Gerges Battaglia at the time. Then there is the journalist Bertrand Lafont whose, at least questionable, methods of investigation have revealed many secrets; and why Pierre Neuville, Clément’s father and head of the investigations at the time, neglected various investigative leads?
