Jean-Louis Trintignant (Merci la vie), Michel Bouquet (The Bride Wore Black), and Juliet Berto (Celine and Julie Go Boating) star in Défense de savoir, a tense legal thriller from director Nadine Trintignant (Crime Thief). When Simone (Bernadette Lafont, Out 1) is accused of murdering her husband, lawyer Jean-Pierre (Trintignant) is assigned to her defence, uncovering connections between the dead man and an ambitious politician.
