Lame de fond

"Lame de fond" (2023) is a French TV crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. British director Owen Flemming arrives in the coastal resort of Dinard for its annual film festival. The morning after the opening ceremony, he's found floating near the pedestrian viaduct — forensics confirm he was already dead before he hit the water.

Captain Elisa Vignon (Pauline Bression) takes the case and quickly traces it back to a shipwreck that killed Flemming's sister twenty years earlier. Director Bruno Garcia keeps things compact at 92 minutes: two timelines, a closed circle of festival guests, the chill of the Atlantic coast. A solid TV procedural — the two-decade link between the deaths is the kind of puzzle that holds your attention through to the end. Stream "Lame de fond" online on iFILM.
