L'Été 36

The murder of Edgar Girault plunges the Riviera even further into chaos. Giulia, suspected by Raven, is narrowly saved by Joseph Neuville, the charming son of the newly arrived hotel owner. But Raoul Delaunay continues to blackmail her to obtain a compromising notebook. Meanwhile, Marthe Pontavice-Caron testifies against her working-class son-in-law. She believes Jean Berthier had a motive: he had just learned that Louis was not his biological son. Blanche is released. But tensions rise at the town dance, where Eugénie sees her husband taken away by the police. For Léonie, the evening turns into a nightmare.

Léonie, devastated by Félix's murder, accuses Raoul Delaunay. Giulia lies to the police to protect him because he is still threatening her daughter, Suzanne. The investigation into Prosecutor Jacquart's murder takes a new turn when Commissioner Raven discovers that Giulia owed him a large sum of money, and Léonie realizes who wrote the threatening letters Jacquart had received. Eugénie and Jean's marriage is shaken by the revelations about their son. Meanwhile, Blanche, impressed by her husband's commitments, tries to win him back by covering for him from the German police. Delaunay continues his evil deeds by exploiting evidence of Henri Pontavice-Caron's corruption to force him to collaborate with the Nazis.

Léonie, Eugénie, Blanche, and Giulia will join forces to bring down the man they know is responsible for Félix's murder, and perhaps the others'... Delaunay. Will they succeed? And isn't the truth about the murders of Jacquart and Edgar Girault somewhere else? In any case, the summer of '36 was a scorcher.
