Vincent Lindon is Simon Weynachter
CANAL+
Camped by a Vincent Lindon impressively accurate, Simon Weynachter is an upright and obstinate magistrate. At the head of a new investigative service which will uncover the so-called carbon quota affair, he will throw himself body and soul into a hunt for crooks, and thus be confronted with his own ghosts.
Between an appetite for justice, unfailing commitment, the hunt for Jérôme Attias turning into obsession, but also the search for his daughter and a return to his roots, Simon confronts a certain state of the world given over to greed, impotence and the complicity of States. He will have to form his own idea of good and evil which is sought between the penal code, morality and religion, in this investigation which takes him to the ends of the world and of himself.
Niels Schneider is Jérôme Attias
CANAL+
Representing the golden youth of Paris and living in the beautiful neighborhoods, Jérôme Attias works in finance and is married to the daughter of a billionaire. Father of two children, he is above all an inveterate poker player and sees life as a big game where everything is a matter of bluffing and cheating.
Wishing to prove to himself that he can exist in the world of adults, and needing to find a place for himself in the face of an overwhelming father-in-law who does not consider him, he will launch into a crazy revolt even if it means losing all honesty. Much less interested in money than in having it, he will join forces with Fitous in the carbon quota scam and will plunge into a self-destructive spiral. All this while provoking Simon who will release the forces of evil within him… It’s a Niels Schneider more bluffing than ever and against the use which lends it its features.
Ramzy Bedia is Fitous
CANAL+
Nicknamed Fitous and wonderfully performed by the talented Ramzy Bedia, Alain Fitoussi is a Tunisian Jew born in the working-class neighborhoods of Paris and who attended street school. Although he has not learned to write and makes mistakes even orally, he knows perfectly how to count and make himself listened to.
King of resourcefulness and shenanigans of all kinds, he is a master of confusion and seduction, and is always looking for the move that will make him rich or the poker game that will make him meet pigeons. This born liar, without faith or law, has only one morality: that of money. King of scams, he was not prepared to pull off the scam of the century and to be confronted with real gangsters.
David Ayala is Bouli
CANAL+
A lifelong friend of Fitous with whom he did the 400 coups, Bouli (David Ayala) and a bit like his big brother. Cunning and calculating, he knows how to use Fitous’ talents to serve their interests. Being one of the first to sniff out the VAT embezzlement scam, he knows all the secrets, all the possibilities.
It is also he who will drag Fitous and Attias into this immense lying poker of carbon quotas, at the risk of being trapped. He neither trusts banks nor financial investments and therefore only wants cash.
Judith Chemla is Annabelle
CANAL+
With the feared and respected billionaire Frydman as her father, Annabelle (Judith Chemla) is like the favorite daughter of a king, who married a “dirty brat”: Jérôme Attias. As in love with the latter as with her life and her family, she finds herself, despite herself, immersed in her husband’s troubled and violent affairs.
If it is inconceivable for her to imagine that the father of her children is gradually becoming a gangster, she will love him to the point of blindness, even if it means coming close to the worst. Torn between the two men in her life, she will nevertheless convince herself to the end that destiny will spare them. Not sure this one has the same opinion…
André Marcon is Frydman
CANAL+
Loved and respected by his family and his community, Frydman, who became a billionaire even though he started from nothing, is a patriarch and embodies all the values that Jérôme Attias does not have. The marriage of his daughter and the spiral of passion into which his stepson drags his entire family have become the tragedy of his life.
At war with this “thug” whom he loved and protected and who seems to want to sully his name, humiliate his daughter out of revenge and fascination, this man played by André Marcon will also be swept up in this gigantic scam. Or how Attias will succeed in causing the worst by wanting to sacrifice this moral, generous and loving model.
Yvan Attal is Anton Zagury
CANAL+
Symbol of scam of all kinds, Zagury – impressive Yvan Attal – is now a refugee in Israel, under surveillance by multiple police and intelligence services. A dandy crook, he spends his time between parties on his gigantic yacht and dealing with all kinds of high-end gangsters and international mafias.
He knows everyone and everyone knows him in this business. As comfortable manipulating investigators as the mafiosi, he is contacted by Simon Weynachter for tips on the carbon quota scam. Who uses the other in this improbable friendship? Is a deal possible between them?…
