A self-taught thug convicted multiple times, Rédoine Faïd is above all the king of beauty. His record: two highly spectacular escapes, including one by helicopter. For nine years, he has been incarcerated in solitary confinement at Fleury-Mérogis. "Affaires sensibles" investigates the contrasting trajectory of this cinephile robber, now 50 years old. His image as a gentleman bandit has been tarnished since he took part in an attempted robbery in 2010 in which a young policewoman lost her life. In this documentary, previously unpublished testimonies reveal the surprising facets of the man who was, briefly, a repentant writer.
