Brief synopsis

BÊTE NOIRE is a dark thriller tinged with jazz.

It plunges us into the heart of a personal drama, where David Henin, ex-cop with a sulphurous past turned renowned trumpeter, is forced to face his past and return to service.

While presenting his new album in one of the most legendary Parisian jazz clubs, he learns that his goddaughter Léna, seven, has been missing for three days in Combleux near Orléans.

The angelic smile of the young girl stuck in all the media, David Henin is downcast and touched in the heart. It has been five years since he returned home, where the police, the media and the curious are looking for the slightest clue and a first lead.

Destroyed by the accidental death of his son and in search of redemption, David Henin is carried by the violence that inhabits him and his cop instinct. He will take the initiative and risk his life to find Lena.
