Father and Soldier
From Wed 23 Aug to Wed 04 Sep1917. Bakary Diallo enlists in the French army to be near Thierno, his 17-year-old son, forced to serve. Sent to the front, father and son must brave the war together. Animated by the ardour of his Captain who wants to lead him into the heart of the battle, Thierno must emancipate himself and become a man. Meanwhile Bakary does whatever it takes to spare his son from fighting, and to bring him home safe and sound.
Presented to much acclaim in the Un certain regard selection at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022, Father and Soldier stars Omar Sy (Untouchables, Lupin).
