“Koh-Lanta, the sacred fire”: date, candidates, news… Everything you need to know
Former Foreign Legion Gabriel Delage (Vincent Cassel) is a highly sought-after mercenary.
Having to exfiltrate two Syrian hackers who have inadvertently discovered plans for attacks on English infrastructure, he lands across the Channel and crosses paths with Allison Rowdy (Eva Green), his former great love, who has become chief of staff at the Ministry of British Home Affairs, responsible for cyber defence.

cold-blooded animals
These reunions test the phlegm and loyalty of these intelligence professionals to their country, to their hierarchy and to themselves.
Playing cold-blooded animals, Cassel, a tired brute who hides a knight serving, and Green, a merciless beautiful lady, nevertheless overflow with a disturbing repressed sensuality.
An infernal cycle is thus formed where desire, regret and the futile quest for redemption mingle as a race against time begins to prevent terrorist attacks.
A real puzzle, as ambitious as it is effective, and under constant tension.
