Patrick (Gilles Lellouche) is a tenacious lawyer specializing in environmental law. France (Emmanuelle Bercot) is a schoolteacher who becomes an activist after her husband develops cancer from exposure to a pesticide. Mathias (Pierre Niney) is an ambitious lobbyist working for an international chemical corporation. The paths of these characters collide as the lives of thousands are affected by a tragic act that sparks a powerful movement while the corporation fights to prevent the truth from being revealed.
This David and Goliath fight between farmers and multinational pesticide companies is an engaging examination of the pesticide industry, politics, and the power of lobbyists.
