Tête de Turc

French actor and writer Pascal Elbé made his directing debut with this compelling drama. In an act of random violence, a teenager in a rough suburb almost kills a doctor which has devastating consequences for everybody involved including their families and the neighborhood. Elbé brilliantly captures the dilemma of poor immigrants trapped in crime infested neighborhoods which turns them into criminals or victims. The talented cast includes Elbé, Roschdy Zem, Ronit Elkabetz, Samir Makhlouf and Simon Abkarian. YRCinema's coverage of the first online French Film Festival.
