Dear Inspector (1978)

Twenty years after a brief affair at the Sorbonne, former lovers Lise and Antoine unexpectedly reconnect. Antoine is now a respected professor, while Lise is a police inspector. Their renewed romance is complicated when Lise investigates a murder in the National Assembly – a case that threatens her career and their relationship. Lise suspects a Deputy, but the deeper she investigates, the more she uncovers: a complex network of lies and scandals involving powerful politicians and the deceased Deputy's mistress, Christine Vallier. As Antoine becomes increasingly interested in Lise’s work, he gets drawn into the investigation, putting himself in danger. Under pressure to solve the case before more deaths occur, Lise struggles to balance her job with her feelings for Antoine while uncovering secrets within the political world. This intense game of cat and mouse between a determined detective and a clever killer explores themes of love, loyalty, and the dangers of corruption.
