Based on extraordinary true events, the engrossing new legal thriller THE THREAD stars Daniel Auteuil as a jaded lawyer who rediscovers his passion when he takes on the case of a father of five (Grégory Gadebois) accused of murder. A major word of mouth hit at the French box office, the film packs a genuine punch, with a conclusion that inspires post-credits conversation.
