"By a little bay near Marseilles lies a picturesque villa" - so they say...stop right there. If you thought this would be an idyllic Mediterranean pastoral forget it. It's a bleak rocky port full of anti immigrant army vehicles, with a noisy railway viaduct right overhead and death or creepy octopi in the waters... plus one of the worst scripts ever encountered, and dreary unloving characters who literally poison themselves to escape from the story. No.
I loved this film it had so much depth & layers.
There was the family story & history & the community changes.
Also the immigration issue was beautifully portrayed.
I was mesmerised by the storytelling & would strongly recommend this film
A moving story, very well acted. Confronts immigration issues too. I liked it. The outcome is in many ways positive.
