What happens

Zulu is a 2013 French-South African crime film directed by Jérôme Salle, starring Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker. It was selected as the closing film at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. It is partly based on Project Coast, the program for biological and chemical weapons of the South African apartheid regime, and the book Zulu by author Caryl Férey, winner of the 2008 French Grand Prix for Best Crime Novel. In the film, three homicide detectives investigate the murder of a young woman. The murder seems connected to the distribution of a new form of methamphetamine and to a Cold War-era project concerning the development of biological weapons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
