Ahmed Sylla's first feature film, L'Infiltrée is a comedy written by Ahmed Sylla and Daive Cohen, starring Michèle Laroque and Kaaris. Selected for the official competition at the Alpe d'Huez Film Festival, the film will be released in French theaters on February 11, 2026.
The story follows Maxime, a particularly clumsy police officer who finds himself tasked with a high-risk undercover mission. To get close to a formidable gang led by a boss nicknamed Tonton, he must slip into the skin of Lupita. This unexpected transformation becomes the only way to integrate a group of warriors who are difficult to access.
Between unexpected situations, the pressure of the mission, and his double identity, Maxime finds himself completely immersed in a world that is beyond his control. This obstacle-strewn journey leads him into a series of complications where his cover becomes as risky as it is crucial.
The film marks the directorial debut of Ahmed Sylla, already known for his roles in film and television. The screenplay was co-written with Daive Cohen, a regular contributor to French comedies. The production features a trio of popular actors: Ahmed Sylla in a double role, Michèle Laroque in a comedic role, and Kaaris in a central role linked to the gang targeted by the investigation. The film's presence in competition at Alpe d'Huez confirms its place among the comedies previewed at the festival.
The film is aimed at audiences who enjoy action comedies, disguises, and situations based on identity misunderstandings. The tone leans toward physical and narrative humor, punctuated by police drama and undercover operations.
