Synopsis:

State Affairs is a suspenseful, action-packed French political thriller in which three main characters cross paths: a corrupt politician, his henchman, and a hard-boiled female cop. A plane explodes above the Gulf of Guinea. An escort girl is murdered in a Parisian park. Thousands of miles separate these two events, and yet Nora believes there's a connection between them, much to her superiors chagrin. As Nora investigates, getting dangerously close to the powers that be, the murders and betrayals accumulate, and signs point to a state affair at the heart of it all.

A tough femme cop takes on a murderous web of 'State Affairs' in Eric Valette's catchy, edgy but far-from-subtly helmed Gallic thriller. Adapted from Dominique Manotti's novel about a string of killings linking an arms-dealing middleman to the upper echelons of French power, the script rattles off multiple plot twists like an AK-47 and then races along to an explosive finale.
