Complaint is a detective series of 52-minute episodes, centered around a police station in a working-class suburb of a provincial French city (the St. Herblain area of Nantes, to be exact), where detached houses with kitchen gardens rub shoulders with tower blocks. There's no mafia or organized crime, just petty lawbreaking, but it keeps our cops busy. Fights that get out of hand, conjugal disputes, quarrels between neighbors, family tiffs, pick-pocketing, pilfering from building sites, minor trafficking and illegal laborers. And plenty of bodily harm, from the trivial to the extremely grievous and, at times, even fatal. Against this backdrop of everyday lawlessness, the series paints a picture of people's lives when they slip out of control, veering into the comic, the tragic or the absurd.
In this time of economic and financial crisis, times are tough for everyone. Precariousness pushes some people to seek solutions that they sometimes think they find illegally. As a result, business is increasing in the police station in the suburbs of Nantes in which Commander Kreusky works, at the head of a team of ten people. Hiding her skin-deep sensitivity under a disillusioned appearance, she tries to keep the ship afloat. She has to navigate with discernment between the theft of vegetables in a garden, the pick-pocketing of a prostitute and the assault of a granny by two teenagers ...
