Press
“France is one of the great film nations and also shows its narrative power in this program. The films explore themes such as alienation, mistrust and social tensions that bubble beneath the surface. Intense stories about exclusion, power and the will to survive unfold between rural idyll and existential threat. An impressive cinema experience that questions boundaries and makes the emotional and social fractures of our time visible.”
Karlsruhe Film Festival (Germany)
Reviews
“The rural environment enjoys a strong family tradition, the family framework seemed obvious to me.”
Reza Serkanian
“The choice to have young people of foreign origin live with a family in complete disarray gives rise to contradictory and sometimes comical situations.”
Reza Serkanian
“Through the stories of these young foreigners, I rediscovered what I felt more than twenty years ago when I arrived in Europe.”
Reza Serkanian
“I was struck by how strongly they faced adult problems when they were just children.”
