One of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful French
films of the past year, WELCOME is the outstanding new drama from
writer-director Philippe Lioret (a special guest of the 2010 festival)
about two men wrestling with issues of lost love and dislocation.
17-year-old Bilal has spent the last three months travelling illegally
across Europe in an attempt to reunite with his girlfriend in England. The
difficult journey is almost over when he finally reaches the far northern
coast of France, and can literally see his destination from across the
Channel. But it's here that his journey comes to an abrupt halt. Spurred
by his dream, with all legal options exhausted, Bilal decides he'll swim
across. Here he meets Simon who impulsively risks everything by taking
Bilal under his wing.
Driven by powerful performances, this absorbing and emotional
masterwork speaks not only of one of the most important modern social
issues, but also of the indomitable nature of the human spirit.
