Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche
Produced by Flach Film
A contemplative portrait of an undocumented immigrant navigating poverty and marginalization in Paris, finding unexpected human connection amid systemic hardship.
Like a Candide dreaming of Eldorado, Jallel lands in France, hoping to try his luck. From encounter to encounter, hostel to social welfare group, Jallel will make his way through a Paris of outcasts. Although failing to achieve his hopes, he discovers and shares in the solidarity felt by the destitute.
