Paris, 1900. From Montmartre to Ménilmontant, the capital is the prey of ultra-violent gangs who reign terror: the Apaches.
Ready to do anything to avenge her dead brother, a young woman (Alice Isaaz) manages to join the formidable organization led by the man responsible for this assassination (Niels Schneider).
A double-edged immersion, because the closer she gets to the object of her wrath, the more she is fascinated by it.

Impossible not to think of
Gangs of New York
by Martin Scorsese at the sight of this trailer, a referent to which Romain Quirot is measured, who signs his second feature film there (after The Last Journey, in 2021).
This suburban and cheeky version feeds a certain curiosity.
Apaches
is based on real historical facts, a dark and little known side of the Belle Epoque, when hordes of outlaws reigned supreme in the streets of Paris, against a backdrop of social unrest, in general impunity.
There were, for example, the Monte-en-l'air of the Batignolles or the Wolves of the Butte, gangs governed by tribal logic, according to precise rules and signs of territorial belonging.
In the casting, we find Alice Isaaz, Niels Schneider, Rod Paradot, Artus, Emilie Gavois-Kahn, Bruno Lochet or even Rossy De Palma.
Theatrical release scheduled for February 22, 2023.
