The Toilets Were Closed from the Inside(1976)

The Toilets Were Closed from the Inside is a darkly comic mystery film that opens with an unexpected death: a bus conductor is killed by a bomb in a workplace toilet. Commissioner and his incompetent partner, Inspector Charbonnier, take on the investigation, interviewing the victim's friends, wives, and colleagues while pursuing suspicious leads. Their bumbling detective work eventually points them toward a mental institution, where a shocking revelation awaits—the murder victim has apparently been an inmate there for the past three years. The film balances absurdist humor with genuine intrigue as the investigators unravel a twisted puzzle that challenges everything they thought they knew about the crime.
