Three Dancing Slaves
Directed by Gaël Morel
Produced by Sépia Productions, CNC
A gritty, melancholic portrait of three brothers navigating grief, temptation, and emerging desire in a working-class French town after their mother's death.
Annecy is no tourist destination for three working-class Algerian brothers and their father, in the months after their mother has died. Marc is deeply troubled: he tries to stiff drug dealers and then plots revenge. Christophe is released from jail, lands a job, and must overcome various temptations in order to keep it. Olivier, nearing 18, may be falling in love with Hicham...
