A FEW DAYS OF RESPITE (QUELQUES JOURS DE RÉPIT)
Actor-director Amor Hakkar stars as an ageing man torn between a security he has never known and the passionate connection to his younger lover.
After escaping Iran, where their relationship means a death sentence, Hassan and Mohsen make it all the way to France. While stopped over in a small town to await their train to Paris, Mohsen befriends the lonely, but warm, Yolande, who offers him employment, kindness, and the possibility of a peaceful life.
A minimalist film that nevertheless feels visually and emotionally full, without forced sentimentality or manufactured drama, A Few Days of Respite questions the nature of love and happiness and the sacrifices we may make to achieve either.
