90s, near the Belgian-French border. While young women keep disappearing, police officer Mathilde Cordier fights against chauvinistic and sexist behavior and the prevailing mentality, which sees the murder of women as little different than shoplifting. When she is released for “misconduct,” she decides to solve the case on her own — and soon puts her own life in danger.
INFERNO addresses real crimes such as the series of murders by Marc Dutroux or Michel Fourniret and is becoming terribly topical as a result of the Gisèle Pelicot case. Constant paternalism, aggression and disparagement by partners, husbands and superiors, domestic, sexualized and gender-based violence and femicide are just a few of the topics that are drastically presented in the film.
In Switzerland, violence against women reached a new record in 2025 with 32 killings of women, 25 of which were femicides, i.e. the deliberate killing of women or girls based on their gender — the highest level since 2015. Switzerland is one of Europe's leaders when it comes to femicides. Even in 2026, femicide is still not a separate criminal offence in Switzerland.
Director Brandon Gotto says about his film production: “The film doesn't judge, it questions. It unsettles, makes us think and holds up a mirror to us that shows us those parts of our world that we often don't want to see.”
