Jacques Arnault, head of Sud Secours NGO, is planning a high impact operation: he and his team are going to exfiltrate 300 orphan victims of the Chadian civil war and bring them to French adoption applicants. Françoise Dubois, a journalist, is invited to come along with them and handle the media coverage for this operation. Completely immersed in the brutal reality of a country at war, the NGO members start losing their convictions and are faced with the limits of humanitarian intervention.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
GUENOT PHILIPPE 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...
