A film by Thomas Kruithof. In french with ger­man subtitles.

Two years after a burn out, Duval, unem­ploy­ed, is cont­ac­ted by a mys­te­rious employ­er to retran­scri­be tap­ped tele­pho­ne calls. Without ever won­de­ring about the orga­niza­ti­on employ­ing him, Duval, in despe­ra­te straits, accepts the job.

Although this simp­le work allows him to get back on his feet, it will nevert­hel­ess place him at the cen­ter of a poli­ti­cal con­spi­ra­cy, plun­ged, despi­te hims­elf, into the bru­ta­li­ty and stran­gen­ess of the under­ground world of the secret service.
