Belgium, 1995. The shocking disappearance of two young girls leads to the formation of secret police operation Maldoror. Newly recruited officer Paul Chartier (Anthony Bajon) is tasked with monitoring a dangerous suspect but soon finds himself in a losing battle against bureaucracy and systemic dysfunction. As official efforts collapse, Paul spirals into obsession and embarks on his own relentless pursuit for justice.
Inspired by true events, MALDOROR from award-winning Belgian director Fabrice du Welz is a “propulsive, compelling thriller” (Screen Daily) about crime, punishment and the failures of institutions meant to protect society.
“Revisits a notorious real-life crime through a tense psychological action thriller that intertwines vintage aesthetics and sanity-challenging obsession.” –ScreenAnarchy
