For two decades, passionate small-town policewoman Maia has been keeping her sleepy coastal village of La Pointe safe. To be honest, there hasn’t been any danger to speak of in the first place. Now she’s facing retirement and wishes nothing more than to get one last (well, OK, her first) juicy case. When a shark attacks a surfer, she hears opportunity knocking. After Teddy, the brothers Boukherma once again infuse a satire of provincial life with their aromatic genre herbs, making Year of the Shark without doubt the coolest, most original apex marine predator movie in a long while.
