Secret Defense background

Secret Defense

A cat-and-mouse game plays out in France between rival factions, each fueled by their own convictions, as they navigate a precarious equilibrium tied to a secret truth.

Terrorist groups and intelligence agencies in France engage in a brutal war, driven by opposing ideologies. Secret agents and terrorists lead similar lives, using manipulation and human exploitation as their weapons. Two leaders, Alex and Al Barad, head the French secret service and a terrorist network, respectively. The film follows the stories of Diane, a student recruited by the French secret service, and Pierre, a troubled young man seeking salvation through terrorism. Both are trained for impossible missions, drawn into a cycle of events from which they cannot escape. Will they be sacrificed for their causes?
