Our take

Probing the cruel treatment faced by African immigrants the minute they set foot in France, Nicolas Klotz’s revelatory drama is intimately informed by years-long research. Like the bodily wound at the heart of the plot, postcolonial displacement becomes the societal gash that can never be healed.
