Synopsis of The Bureau

Guillaume Debailly, known by the code name Malotru, is a French secret service agent who has just spent six years undercover in Damascus. Back in Paris, he tries to rebuild a normal life, but struggles to reconnect with his daughter, his ex-wife, his former colleagues, and even the person he was before leaving. The series follows the daily life of the DGSE, France's General Directorate for External Security, and in particular the Office of Legends, the unit that trains and manages agents who live for years under false identities. His return becomes complicated when he discovers that Nadia, the woman he loved in Syria, is also in the capital. Based on real testimonies from former spies, the series created by Éric Rochant airs on Canal+ and stars Mathieu Kassovitz.
