Coup de Torchon

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a remote village in West Africa, the unfortunate and despised gendarme, Lucien, lives a life of humiliation and frustration. Trapped in a world of corruption and inequality, his days pass in a monotonous routine filled with insults from the locals. But everything changes when a group of criminals begins to sow chaos in his small community. As the situation deteriorates, Lucien starts to contemplate the possibility of taking justice into his own hands.

Aiming to be more than just a mere public servant, Lucien embarks on a dark and twisted journey, where his actions become increasingly disturbing and violent. In his quest for power, he surprises everyone by taking drastic measures against those who have belittled him. The line between good and evil blurs, and the struggle for control over his life leads him to an unexpected conclusion.

In a story that combines dark humor with a reflection on morality, the film captures the essence of an individual who, tired of being trampled upon, decides to take fate into his own hands. Through a provocative narrative and captivating visual aesthetics, the film presents a biting satire on justice and revenge, turning Lucien into an anti-hero who reveals the shadows of the system and the complexities of human nature. Ultimately, can justice truly be served without getting one's hands dirty?
