Le Septième Juré
Synopsis
The action takes place in a typical French town in the early sixties, at the end of the Algerian war.

As no one witnesses him committing this crime, he chooses to remain silent while the girl's boyfriend, a young Algerian farm worker, is wrongly convicted. In a strange twist of fate, the killer becomes one of the jurors of the trial and suddenly does everything in his power to defend the wrongly accused young man.
