In Paris, there’s a deadly super shark in the Seine and an international triathlon about to take place. Can one scientist stop a massacre before this mutant sea creature picks off some of the world’s best athletes? Directed by Xavier Gens (Budapest, Cold Skin), Under Paris stars César Award winner Bérénice Bejo, Nassim Lyes, Léa Léviant … and one very dangerous shark.

What happens in Under Paris?

After a dangerous shark nicknamed Lilith kills all of Sophia’s research colleagues, the scientist (Bejo) gives up studying climate-related shark mutations. But five years later, an environmental activist named Mika (Léviant) discovers a massive shark lurking in the Seine just days before the World Triathlon Championships are hosted in Paris — and it’s the same one Sophia was tracking. So the scientist warily dives back into her work in order to thwart catastrophe. Now it’s up to Sophia, Mika, and reluctant police officer Adil (Lyes) to prevent a bloodbath before it’s too late.
