Humanité (French: L'humanité) is a 1999 film directed by Bruno Dumont. It tells the story of a detective who has lost touch with his emotions, and who investigates the murder of a little girl.
Superintendent Pharaon De Winter (Emmanuel Schotte) investigates the murder of a girl aged 11, who had also been raped. The film starts with her body being examined by De Winter in a remote rural field next to a railway line. The film then focuses on De Winter's struggle to deal with the realities of the world. In the weekend that follows, he spends time at a restaurant and at the seaside with his neighbours, Domino (Severine Caneele) and Joseph (Philippe Tullier), both of whom are in a relationship. Joseph is a crude man, as revealed from his disturbing carnal desires, seen from his actions and his use of language, in contrast to Domino, whom De Winter considers as tender and to whom he is attracted.
Domino and her colleagues vote to go on strike at the factory where they work. The police authorities in Lille and Paris are starting to pressure the local police, in particular De Winter's boss, to find the murderer. Eventually, after the Lille authorities take over the investigation, Joseph is arrested. Domino is distraught, and De Winter becomes similarly emotionally unstable.

Трейлер фильма "Человечность"
The storm is rushing on me
Here's the flood flash
I feel so locked and loaded
Let me out, let me out
Wake up in a wasteland
Where the trees are crashing fast
Make or break or the road explodes
Get out, get out of this town
Live faster, live stronger
Let us speed up or get blown over
Time's wasting, how much longer
Before I get myself free
Of these hurricane streets?
Headed for disaster
Way beyond the fear
In the rear view, watch it all
Just disappear, disappear
I don't care where I'm headed
Anywhere but here
Won't waste my life
Can't waste another night
In this town, this town
Live faster, live stronger
Let us speed up or get blown over
Time's wasting, how much longer
Before I get myself free
Of these hurricane?
Leaves are blowing down the streets
Wind crawling up our knees
Somebody get the keys
Rain is flowing from the sky
But no fear in our eyes, we're ready to fly
Live faster, live stronger
Let us speed up or get blown over
Time's wasting, how much longer
Before I get myself free
Of these hurricane streets?
Live faster, live stronger
Let us speed up or get blown over
Time's wasting, how much longer
Before I get myself free
Of these hurricane streets?
