Villefranche is a French city of 30,000 citizens where Jérôme Cachart, 34, is accused of murdering Driss Belhaj, who used to be his best friend. Jérôme retreats into silence, refusing to answer any questions. When the local factory closed down, Jérôme was left unemployed. He lost hope, his marriage broke up and he became increasingly drawn to extreme politics, finally becoming a councillor on a right-wing ticket. Was this the cause of Driss' death? Was it a racist murder, provoked by a political disagreement? Or was it the act of a broken heart? To understand we must follow what led Jérôme, adrift from May 2012 to the present day, to this murder.—Happy_Evil_Dude
