Cassandre - Un ciel de plomb

During a paragliding competition, a man is found dead. He is none other than Capucine’s ex-boyfriend who has just won first place. She had recently left the latter because of her jealousy and alcohol problems. He had, however, discovered elements about the disappearance of Romain, Capucine’s little brother, 20 years earlier. In parallel, the team is preparing to participate in a bike race for an association. Commissioner Cassandre risks slowing down her team and Lieutenant Maleva learns of her pregnancy.

Directed by Sophie Boudre, Cassandre - Un ciel de plomb leans on a strong ensemble — Gwendoline Hamon, Alexandre Varga, Dominique Pinon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2026.
