De bas étage

Quinzaine 2021 | Feature film | 1h27

World premiere | Film in competition for the Caméra d'Or Award

30-something Mehdi is a small-time safe cracker. He and his partners in crime are just trying to get by, but industrial estate robberies aren’t paying like they used to, and the alternatives on offer aren’t appealing. Reassessing his life and future, he decides to try and win back Sarah, the mother of his one-year-old son he adores.
