Dir. Philippe Lioret
In French, Kurdish with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

 

Aroview: An illegal Iraqi immigrant is befriended by a dispirited swim coach, who agrees to help smuggle the teenager into England by way swimming the English channel.

A heartfelt, engrossing drama that sensitively explores the refugee dilemma and inter-cultural barriers with great sensitivity and natural performances, led by the ever-charismatic Vincent Lindon. Hard to not be moved by the film's final frames.
