Le Havre
DramaComedy
Marcel Marx, a former bohemian and struggling author, has given up his literary ambitions and relocated to the port city Le Havre. He leads a simple life based around his wife Arletty, his favourite bar and his not too profitable profession as a shoeshiner. As Arletty suddenly becomes seriously ill, Marcel's path crosses with an underage illegal immigrant from Africa, who needs Marcel's help to hide from the police.
VIBE
A quiet, character-driven film that feels like a warm hug. It's a deeply humanistic story about finding grace and connection in unexpected places, told with a gentle, understated charm and a touch of melancholic whimsy.
