Stolen children

Inspired from actual events that occurred eight years ago, this is a very unusual story. The tale of a No Government Organization - and also a non authorized one - who took orphans from their lost villages in the deep sub Sahara Africa. They took those orphans - or supposed to be - in order to bring them to France, in a total illegal way, so that those under five kids can find foster families. So, you see, you have here a really ambivalent atmosphere and characters too. Vincent Lindon gives here, one more time, a terrific performance as the leader of this surprising group, that fits him very well. Only him could have do this, or maybe Olivier Gourmet... We can consider this as an adventure film, so rare in the French industry since the fifties or early sixties. Watch out for the ending...
