Michel on the ropes
a layered character-driven crime drama about the battles which rage between defence lawyers and their counterparts in the Federal Prosecutor’s office in the hotbed of organised crime that is Belgium’s port City of Antwerp.
Michel On The Ropes is an ambitious and layered character driven crime drama which will thrill and provoke thought in equal measures.
MICHEL CROIX is a morally flawed defense lawyer known for his work with Belgium’s most notorious criminals. His life is turned upside down when a meeting with criminal scumbag SIMON JANSSENS finally pushes Michel’s moral compass too far south. Janssens threatens Michel’s daughter Julie and Michel ends up killing the man with a single punch. The death of Simon Janssens ushers in a season of challenges for Michel and his professional partner SORAYA NÖEL, which will see them face off with the most powerful Federal Police and Prosecutors in Belgium.
