Diane (played by Emmanuelle Devos) is a protagonist in Moka.
Diane is Luc's mother and the central figure driving the story. Frustrated by the stalled official investigation into his road death, she follows the witness's clues, searches for the suspected car, and approaches Marlène under a false identity before confronting her and demanding the truth. Marlène (played by Nathalie Baye) appears in Moka.
Marlène is the blonde woman associated with the car Diane believes caused Luc's death. Working at a beauty salon, she gradually trusts Diane and introduces her to Michel, but later angrily denies involvement, claims she was in Paris, and presents a training course as her alibi. Elodie (played by Diane Rouxel) appears in Moka.
Elodie is Marlène's daughter, unhappy with her life in the area and dreaming of leaving for Paris. She also complains about the strain of living with her mother, providing Diane with a view of the family tensions surrounding Marlène and the isolated community. Vincent (played by Olivier Chantreau) appears in Moka.
Vincent is a local man whom Diane encounters during her search. He crosses the lake and offers access to something she is looking for, although her exact intention is not disclosed in the available dialogue. His brief involvement supports Diane's investigation but his relationship with her remains unclear. Michel (played by David Clavel) appears in Moka.
Michel is Marlène's partner and is introduced to Diane through Marlène. He is connected to the remote house that Marlène says he rents out, and he is present when Diane finally reveals that Luc was the boy killed in Lausanne. He denies having any part in the accident with Marlène. Luc (played by Paulin Jaccoud) appears in Moka.
Luc is Diane's son, whose death in a road accident in Lausanne initiates the entire investigation. He was the boy run over by the suspected vehicle, and the lack of progress by the authorities drives Diane to conduct her own search and confront Marlène and Michel.
