Synopsis: A relaxed pacifist, matcha addict, and committed vegan, Panda runs a small hut in a remote corner of the Camargue. No cell phone, no computer, no car, he lives with his 16-year-old son in this perfect cocoon of peace and serenity, fleeing anything that even remotely resembles conflict. How could anyone imagine that this great sage in flip-flops and a faded t-shirt was once a cop? And not just any cop. One of the best. Alas, even in paradise, there’s no way to be at peace. The day his old life comes knocking, Panda finds himself forced to return to duty… But in his own way. Without weapons or violence, and not too early in the morning. Zen, in other words.
