In a Parisian apartment, police discover the body of
Georges Figon, the man who broke the scandal of the
Ben Barka affair, and undermined Gaullist power. A year earlier, Figon, tired of dubious deals and petty scams, is looking for a lucrative job. Close to the "milieu" (the criminal underworld) since his years in prison, he is given a big assignment: to produce a documentary about decolonization, written by
Marguerite Duras and directed by
Georges Franju, with the help of famous Moroccan dissident, Mehdi Ben Barka, who has been hired as an historical consultant. The film project is a trap. ==Cast==
