Keep an Eye Out

It stars Benoît Poelvoorde and Grégoire Ludig, alongside Marc Fraize, Anaïs Demoustier, Philippe Duquesne and Orelsan, in a story that involves a commissaire de police and a suspect in an interrogation room.

During the opening credits, a man in swimming trunks conducts a classical music orchestra in a clearing.

In a large office, Commissaire Buron, after having had a telephone discussion, continues the questioning of the man who is seated in front of him, named Fugain, without allowing him to take a break to eat.

He stumbles over an open drawer and falls dead, his one eye pierced by a square he held in his hand.

Buron, annoyed to see Fugain complaining, tells him that he too was very hungry for three days when his helicopter crashed on a desert island.

After hearing screams, they leave the apartment and Buron notices the strange resemblance between Fugain's spy neighbor and one of his colleagues.

Back to the reality, Champonin, a colleague of Buron, brings the forensic report: the man found dead by Fugain was the victim of a "digestive hemorrhage".

Initially planned for Albert Dupontel, the role of Commissaire Buron is finally interpreted by Benoît Poelvoorde.
