In Bordeaux, a murder investigation tied to a queer club pulls a married police inspector into a dangerous affair with a young handsome musician who may also be a suspect. As the investigation deepens, his involvement with the suspect begins to strain his marriage and blur the boundaries between his professional and private life. Directed by Yannick Bellon, The Cheat (La Triche) blends noir tension with a complex portrait of identity and obsession. Newly restored in HD for its first major U.S. release, the film remains a striking entry in queer French cinema.
