The original French title of the project was to be “Les Indésirables”; before the change
Synopsis
A local activist and an up-and-coming young mayor argue over the best way forward for their impoverished suburb. In this second film from the director of LES MISERABLES, shot in 2019, we still have Alexis Manenti and Steve Tchientcheu, but not in the same roles.
It is only an indictment against the real facts, a real tragedy
From a policeman, Manenti becomes a mayor and Tchientcheu from a local ruler to a great member of the town hall… This is not a social crime drama, but just a social drama, just remove the criminal element.
Not everyone will agree with the message of this movie
At the center of this story is the government’s strategy for migrants. If you want to escape from your problems, if you want to dream, hope for the future, this movie is not for you.
Very painful ending, touching, disturbing
But if you are brave enough to open your eyes to the true and ugly face of the modern world, modern society, this movie is the best opportunity for you. Unforgettable.
