Two brothers attempt to make a new life in cold and grey Paris, with their futures at the mercy of bureaucrats, in Mahamet-Saleh Haroun Haroun’s compassionate family drama.
Abbas (Eriq Ebouaney) is a migrant from the war-torn Central African Republic. A schoolteacher back home, in Paris he works on a market stall and looks after his two young children (his wife died during their escape). He’s dating a co-worker, Carole (Sandrine Bonnaire), and has applied for asylum, but he’s lacking documentation and as the film progresses his plight becomes more desperate. A parallel story tracks the fate of Abbas’s brother, Etienne (Bibi Tanga), a philosophy teacher now reduced to working as a security guard at a pharmacy and sleeping in a bare wooden hut beside the Seine.
