This French movie is, as we say in France, an ensemble film, that means a plot where different characters, different stories, fates, who have nothing to do one with the other, meet. It is exciting to watch and not that hard to follow. The editing is the main character in this kind of films where there is precisely no lead character. See what I mean? Characterization is purely awesome, acting flawless, with a then beginning Reda Kateb and Vincent Rottiers. It is a social drama, so typical in the French film industry. The element that will help those fates to meet is a prison. The female director was only twenty eight years old when she made this movie. An early talent for sure.
