French-Moroccan writer and director Ismaël Ferroukhi returns with another original story with his second feature. An Algerian immigrant gets involved in the Resistance during the Nazi occupation of Paris where he learns the true value of friendship and sacrifice. While Ferroukhi deserves credit for another original story involving the Arab involvement during the WWII, his film lacks the focus and power of his debut, the powerful "Le Grand Voyage." The talented cast includes Tahar Rahim and Michael Lonsdale. 1001 Films' coverage of upcoming releases.
