Guilty as Charged
S01E05: Christmas Spirit
It's Christmas Eve. The Christmas tree is in the cafeteria, everything's fine. Except that an ordinary man decides to burglarize a small jewellery store. He takes the saler as a hostage. A school teacher is worried about her son. She accuses her sister of locking him up.
Overview
A detective series centered around a police station in a working-class suburb of a provincial French city (the St. Herblain area of Nantes, to be exact), where detached houses with kitchen gardens rub shoulders with tower blocks. There's no mafia or organized crime, just petty lawbreaking, but it keeps our cops busy. Fights that get out of hand, conjugal disputes, quarrels between neighbors, family tiffs, pick-pocketing, pilfering from building sites, minor trafficking and illegal laborers. And plenty of bodily harm, from the trivial to the extremely grievous and, at times, even fatal. Against this backdrop of everyday lawlessness, the series paints a picture of people's lives when they slip out of control, veering into the comic, the tragic or the absurd.
