Film honi buruz

In war torn Chad, Africa, hordes of children are left parentless by the on-going conflict. NGO Group 'Move The Children' touch down with one objective: to rescue the orphans and bring them back to France for adoption. Journalist Françoise (Valérie Donzelli, Declaration of War) is invited to document their work, but as tensions in the group grow increasingly fraught, she starts to question the limits of humanitarian intervention as the line between adoption and abduction begins to blur. Filmmaker Joachim Lafosse, heralded for his powerful dramas such as Private Property and Our Children, directs a deeply ambiguous drama based on a true story, with Vincent Lindon (The Measure of a Man) and Reda Kateb (A Prophet).
