The Channel

Directed by Thierry Binisti

With Alice Isaaz, Adam Bessa, Ilan Debrabant, Catherine Salée and Carole Franck

Natacha (25), a young single parent who works as a fast-food waitress, struggles to raise her 8-year-old son Enzo. Torn between a strong desire for independence and the comfort that her mother Irène unfailingly wants to provide for them, Natacha feels trapped. Her encounter with Walid, who is waiting to save enough money to pay for his crossing to England will open new horizons for her.
