Synopsis
Malony, à qui sa jeune mère Séverine, irresponsable, droguée et instable, n'assure pas un cadre affectif et éducatif satisfaisant, se voit placé par la juge des enfants Florence Blaque dans plusieurs établissements de plus en plus contraignants. Sa scolarité désastreuse est interrompue, il est sujet à des crises de violence qu'il ne contrôle pas, et multiplie les délits. Cependant, la magistrate persiste à tenter de l'aider en dépit du peu de résultats auxquels elle parvient et malgré le comportement souvent hostile, mais parfois attachant, du jeune garçon, lié plus que tout à sa mère et à son frère cadet.Actors

En février 2009, confrontés à des cas de valvulopathie et d'hypertension artérielle pulmonaire, des médecins du CHU de Brest soupçonnent un lien avec la prise d'un médicament, le Mediator, commercialisé par les laboratoires Servier. La pneumologue Irène Frachon, aidée d'un chercheur, le professeur Le Bihan, s'improvise lanceuse d'alerte. Ces provinciaux candides ne cherchent qu'à sauver des vies. Mais, à Paris, ils découvrent un univers bien peu préoccupé d'intérêt général. L'argent règne en maître et « des laboratoires pharmaceutiques arrivent à prendre le contrôle des autorités de santé » : universitaires stipendiés, arrogants et brutaux, commissions d'experts dévoyées par les conflits d'intérêts… Le Bihan, en tant que chercheur, est vite neutralisé. On l'accable de mépris, on lui coupe les crédits et il n'a plus qu'à s'exiler au Canada.
