Synopsis: Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and
nominated for 13 César Awards, Polisse follows the daily lives of a
tight-knit team of men and women working in the Child Protection Unit of
the Parisian police. Basing her richly textured script on real child
investigation cases, writer-director actor Maïwenn has gathered an
accomplished ensemble cast of French actors who convey the emotional
strain of the unit's work with gritty realism. They not only deal with
the stress of their
jobs but the inevitable
fall-out in their personal lives-breakdowns, divorce and adulterous
relations within the force. In between, there are frequent flashes of
humor as the team attempts to diffuse daily realities. As the
cases,confessions and interrogations pile up, the squad members have
only each other as support as they face an uphill battle against both
criminals and bureaucracy. -- (Written by IFC Films)
