Duval is the perfect employee – thoughtful, persistent and committed. But after a drink-fuelled breakdown finds jobs hard to come by. When a mysterious businessman offers him a well-paid position within his ‘security’ firm, Duval can’t refuse. Evocative of the political thrillers of the 1970s, the film is also attuned to the volatile contemporary climate.
