A nobody scams the French tax system for millions—then learns criminals don't do refunds.
In danger of losing his business, Anthony Roca, an ordinary man, develops a scam that will become the heist of the century. Overtaken by the crime, he will have to deal with betrayal, murder and settling.
Acting
Magimel's sweaty desperation—you can smell the panic through the screen.
Direction
Marchal's cop-show pedigree keeps every betrayal razor-tight.
Writing
The scam mechanics are *chef's kiss* legally dubious.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the real 2008-2009 'carbon tax' fraud that cost France €5 billion—still one of Europe's biggest white-collar crimes.
Director Olivier Marchal was an actual police officer before becoming a filmmaker; his first film '36 Quai des Orfèvres' is considered a French crime classic.
