The film"s page
Mathias, fils d’un diplomate français en Allemagne, décide de rejoindre Paris pour y poursuivre ses études de médecine légale. A la frontière, il est contrôlé par la douane puis insulté par un homme étrange, Bleisher, qu’il a d’abord confondu avec un douanier. Une fois à Paris, Mathias découvre en défaisant ses bagages une tête d’homme embaumée. Fasciné et pris d’un sentiment de responsabilité, Mathias décide de mener sa propre enquête. Ses découvertes le plongeront dans le monde trouble du contre-espionnage et l’obligeront à déterrer de vieux secrets aussi bien d’Etat que de famille.
