It all begins in the early 60s, in a slum just outside Paris inhabited by Algerian immigrants. Malika is 5, and her mum has just bought her a brand-new pair of sandals. They're so white that the little girl can't keep her eyes off them, and doesn't see the reversing truck. Then begin years of hospital, operations, suffering and struggle. Years far from her family, during which the little Muslim girl, in the hands of Catholic nurses and nuns, discovers music and singing at mass. From that point on, fighting the racism of French society as well as the enduring prejudices of her own community, Malika follows her dream and moves mountains to become the woman everyone will one day call "the diva of the ghetto".

Mathieu
O filme centra-se em Sam (Yannick Renier), um solitário de 27 anos que viaja de carro pelas estradas francesas em direção ao Sul, mas que acaba por dar carona a três desconhecidos para afastar o tédio. Entre eles, estão dois irmãos, Léa (Léa Seydoux) e Mathieu (Théo Frilet), a que se juntará Jérémie (Pierre Perrier), por quem Léa sente alguma atração. Mas o foco da história é Sam, uma figura opaca e lacônica que vive marcada por um passado traumático – o pai suicidou-se quando ele tinha oito anos, e a mãe (Nicole Garcia) caiu em depressão e viveu parte da vida em reabilitação.

Wonderful piece of film noire. Great acting, París, well, as beautiful as ever. Love the plot gaps, force you to thunk. To imagine. The whole story is never revealed. Highly recommended. Marie is delicious.
