Apple TV announced the new seven-episode French-language thriller, “La Décision,” starring César Award nominee Raphaël Personnaz (“The Richest Woman in the World,” “The French Minister”) and SAG Award winner Diane Kruger (“Inglourious Basterds,” “Saint-Exupéry”). The series is directed by “Carême’s” Martin Bourboulon (“Les Trois Mousquetaires”) and Louis Farge (“Culte,” “Eldorado”).
César Award winners Sami Bouajila (“Ganglands,” “A Son”), Marina Hands de la Comédie Française (“Lady Chatterley,” “Off Season”) and Fanny Sidney (“Call My Agent!”) also join the cast.
In this riveting race against the clock, the life of the French president (Personnaz) is turned upside down when an 8-year-old girl goes missing. While the public is shocked over the disappearance of the young girl, the tragedy affects the president personally as she is his illegitimate daughter, born of a secret affair unknown to his wife and political advisor Nora (Kruger). When the kidnapping becomes a matter of state, the entire Élysée apparatus intervenes to find the little girl. But who can the president trust behind the closed doors of the palace? He has risen to the pinnacle of power on the strength of his honesty and integrity, but must he betray the very values to which he owes his election? Torn between his private life and public responsibilities, the president is now plunged into a whirlwind of false friendships, unrequited love, power struggles, political games and espionage.
Produced for Apple TV by Solab Films, award-winning White Lion Films, a Mediawan company, and M Films, “La Décision” is executive produced by César Award nominee Nicolas Tiry (“Atlantic Bar”), Noor Sadar (“Machine,” “Malditos”) and Bourboulon. Based on an original idea by Bourboulon and Tiry, the series is created by Marc Dugain and Corinne Garfin (“Coeurs Noirs”), Lamara Leprêtre Habib (“Dans l’ombre”) and Xabi Molia (“Les Sentinelles”).
