TUER UN HOMME

An armed robber storms into Matteo and Christine Belmonte's small jewellery shop and demands what's on their shelves. Christine refuses. It's their 3rd robbery in a month. Things get heated. Matteo, fearing for his wife's life, grabs a revolver and fires two shots. Seriously injured, the man runs away and collapses on the pavement. Self-defence? Murder attempt? The legal machinery runs amok, social networks go berserk, and the couple begin to fall apart...
