Synopsis
It all happened on a dark night. The Man was tired of being a stranger, tired of being insulted by others simply because he speaks Arabic to a wife who speaks French with their beloved mixed race son. He looked at the sky and shouted. But that night, far in the cosmos, a voice answered.
Editorial
Narrated by the iconic Denis Lavant, Valentin Noujaïm’s spellbinding short takes the shapeshifting form of a sci-fi fairy tale. Fusing the director’s family archive with NASA footage of outer space, this intergalactic escape heads for a utopia, light years away from racial discrimination in France.
