The programmer’s eye
Hamy Ramezan shows a very accurate talent for direction and always keeps us up to the height of his protagonist. Well integrated into his host community, the latter experiences his first love and slowly blossoms. The film immerses us in the sweet and benevolent world of this family who, despite its situation, tries to live wholeheartedly. — Aurélie Oria-Badoc
