Brigade des mineurs

1999 · 90 min · Crime

Captain Stéphane Delage, head of the Juvenile Brigade, witnesses the death of a close friend and fellow officer, who is replaced by Laurence Dorlaville. On her very first day, Delage learns that Simon, the 13-year-old son of his late colleague, has attempted suicide. Even more disturbing, the gun Simon used is identified as the same weapon used to shoot a security guard at a shopping mall. While Dorlaville investigates the case of a child who has been the victim of incest, Delage uncovers the shocking truth: Simon is part of a gang of teenagers completely controlled by an adult who terrorizes and ruthlessly exploits them.
