Jean‑Paul Salomé directs this tense period drama about Jan Bojarski, a Polish engineer who finds refuge in wartime France. Using his technical skill he forges identity papers under the occupation; after the war, lack of civil status bars him from patenting inventions and forces humiliating work. When a gangster recruits him to print counterfeit banknotes, Bojarski slips into a double life that draws the relentless scrutiny of Inspector Mattei. The film traces themes of identity, moral compromise and invisibility with shadowed frames and a quietly urgent rhythm.
In presence of the director Jean-Paul Salomé and the actor Reda Kateb.
