Mater on motorcycle The film is not outstanding, but quite worthy. The story is interesting, although it is told (shown) with some flaws.
The whole plot should not be stated - otherwise what a detective, if everything is known in advance! - but something can be said.
So, a female lawyer, exotically riding a motorcycle, is invited to La Rochelle (remember the siege of La Rochelle from The Three Musketeers?); a criminal Stani, languishing in the prison there, wants to get out of it - and asks Master Violet to help. The girl in bewilderment refuses, but the criminal Stani promises to tell her something about her father, also a criminal - and this information will help his rehabilitation. So Violet suddenly finds out that her father is a criminal. It's a shock to her. Violet’s mother confirms that his father did die in prison and was accused of kidnapping the boy. But he escaped from prison in order to look at his newly born daughter - and, in general, a good person.
It's like this: kidnapping, ransom, father-criminal. And then the criminal Stani becomes the victim of an assassination attempt directly in prison, falls into a coma - and nothing yet to tell about the rehabilitation of his father Violet can not.
Along the way, on the island of Re (connected to La Rochelle by a bridge) they find a hanged man. The investigation is led by Commissioner Borghese, the brother of a once-abducted child. Suddenly (spontaneously) love breaks out between Violet and the commissioner (another word is hard to find). But the case is complicated by the fact that she is the daughter of a boy accused of kidnapping. So the love line is weighed down by heredity, by the crimes of today and the past, and all of this is interconnected. The story is exciting. And if not for some carelessness of the writer and director, it could be a very worthy detective.
What can I add? There are many plans for Violet on a motorcycle, and I would like more plans for La Rochelle and the Isle of Re - then we could refer the film to an ethnographic detective. There are some inconsistencies of the plot - from negligence and superficial elaboration. The acting is pretty good, convincing.
Overall, I liked the film with a solid 7. You can see it.
