THROUGH THE FIRE
Rescue or perish: that's the motto of the firefighters of Paris. Frank is one of them, one of the best. He's happily married, with small children at home. One day, while fighting an intense fire, he performs an act of heroism that incurs serious facial burns. During his lengthy recovery, he gets to know a different side to himself and his surroundings. Up-and-coming French actor Pierre Niney plays the rescuer who must himself be rescued.
