Amadou, a 16 year old from Guinea, has just arrived in Switzerland. Far from his friends and family, he must adapt to his new life and go back to school in an integration class. Louise Carrin paints the portrait of a young man who must reconcile his migration journey with the torments of adolescence, its joys and heartbreaks.
Reviews
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
