Summer '36 – Official Trailer | Netflix
MVSRS
Summer of 1936 on the French Riviera. Factory workers have just gained a two-week, annual, paid vacation, so we've got a bunch of proles as well as the usual gang of swells in town. Our girl is also here, just graduated from the police academy and assigned to this out of the way place on her request. It also happens to be where her father is locked up awaiting his upcoming execution for murder, a murder his daughter is sure he did not commit. She's trying to do her job, and trying to find evidence to clear her father without letting her boss know that she is her father's daughter. And then we get swells being murdered, one after another, at the fancy hotel, so the cops have got their hands full.
Very entertaining in an Agatha Christie kind of way.
P. S. In French. Execution is be done using a guillotine. From Wikipedia:
After its adoption, the device remained France's standard method of judicial execution until the abolition of capital punishment in 1981. The last person to be executed by a government via guillotine was Hamida Djandoubi, a Tunisian murderer, on 10 September 1977 in France.
