Maïwenn made a haunting slice of life about a child protection unit in Paris with all the displayed cases being based on real life cases, up until some very dramatic events in the Unit itself.

Polisse is not here to provoke or shock, but to explore the very devastating work of the police officers and the even sadder reality of the victims.

Maïwenn provides us with a respectful but honest look into the daily lives of the juvenile protection unit.
