Synopsis
In the town of Bailleul, near Lille, France, detective Pharaon De Winter lives with his mother and grapples with a gruesome case: an eleven-year-old girl has been raped and murdered. Over the course of a week, Pharaon investigates the crime while also coping with his own emotional turmoil, his face remaining nearly expressionless throughout. He engages in mundane activities like biking and gardening to cope, and even accompanies neighbors Joseph and Domino to dinner and the seaside. Meanwhile, Domino seems to use sex as a way of connecting with others, possibly including Pharaon himself. The investigation leads Pharaon through a series of images that mix beauty and evil, assaulting him as he tries to maintain his humanity while solving the crime.

Set in the small town of Bailleul near Lille, the film follows police superintendent Pharaon De Winter as he investigates the brutal rape and murder of an eleven-year-old girl. The story explores themes of grief, humanity, and the struggle to maintain one's compassion amidst cruelty.

Despite its slow pace, 'L'humanité' offers a profound meditation on evil and the human condition.
