Badh is a 2025 French action-thriller directed by Guillaume de Fontenay, running 84 minutes and starring Marine Vacth as a former intelligence operative forced back into a deadly shadow world when the people closest to her are threatened. It carries both Persian dubbing and subtitles for K-Time viewers.

What is Badh about?

Alma has left her past behind — the codename Badh, the classified missions, the violence she once committed without hesitation. She has rebuilt a quiet life alongside police officer Ilias, until a gunshot shatters everything and puts him in a coma. With no one else capable of acting, Alma has no choice but to reach back into the person she buried. Methodically, she begins dismantling the Khoury criminal network, moving through its members with the cold precision of a professional. But as she closes in, a far more personal betrayal surfaces, one that connects her target directly to the hidden structures of her own past.

Cast & crew

Marine Vacth, known for her intense, restrained screen presence, anchors the film as Alma/Badh — a role that demands she convey both vulnerability and lethal capability across a compact runtime. Niels Schneider plays Ilias, and the supporting ensemble includes Emmanuelle Bercot, Slimane Dazi, Grégoire Colin, Lionel Abelanski, Salim Kéchiouche, and Hichem Yacoubi. Guillaume de Fontenay directs from a tight script that keeps its focus on character momentum.

Context & significance

French spy-action cinema has a long tradition of cold, controlled protagonists shaped by institutional loyalty and personal loss — Badh fits squarely in that lineage. For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, the film's themes of dual identity, the weight of a hidden name, and the cost of violence for people you love translate powerfully across cultures. Its 84-minute format respects the viewer's time without sacrificing narrative grip. The film is available with full Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles on K-Time, making it equally accessible whether you prefer to watch in Farsi or follow in the original French.
