La Barrière

Directed by Christophe Deram

With Marie Narbonne and Jalal Altawil

Géraldine, a young film production assistant, blocks off a deserted road for a shoot near Calais. There's little traffic, except for Amar, a Syrian refugee. Burdened by her barrier and her walkie-talkie constantly blaring orders, Géraldine tries her best to complete her task under Amar's intrigued and amused gaze. This unexpected encounter will subtly intertwine the destinies of these two lonely souls.
