Cannes Jury Prize winner Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (A Screaming Man) takes a dark yet compassionate look at illegal immigrants struggling in the lower depths of Paris. Far from a picture-postcard journey, the film is something closer to a season in hell – especially for a grieving father whose fate depends on the mercy of the authorities. Yet as tough as it is, A Season in France is also warm and subtly heart-breaking, offering a moving vision of life for those stuck in legal and emotional limbo.
