Nominated for four Cesar Awards (including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor), Lucas Belvaux’s edge-of-your-seat thriller – inspired by the 1978 kidnapping of French industrialist Edouard-Jean Empain – features a career-defining performance by Yvan Attal (Munich, Rush Hour 3) as a millionaire playboy who is abducted and held for ransom for 60 days.
Stanislaff Graff, a rich industrialist with a wife and a lover, is kidnapped brutally from his limousine on the eve of his visit to China as part of the entourage of the French president. The kidnappers demand a fifty million euro ransom. In order to prove they are serious, they cut off one of his fingers. What follows is a terrifying sparring match between kidnappers, police and the board of the company of which Graff is the director.
