Our take

Inspired by a true story, 37 Seconds revisits the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a Breton trawler and its crew—a tragedy that reminded an entire community of the perils of the sea and the agonizing wait for a return that would never come. Blending human drama and investigation, the series is carried by Nina Meurisse (La Fièvre) and Mathieu Demy (Mythomaniac), both deeply committed in the face of injustice. Twenty years after a case that sparked endless debate, this fiction pays tribute to the memory of the lost and to those who fought tirelessly to bring the truth to light.
