Director's bio:

Born in France in 1991 to Lebanese and Egyptian parents, Valentin Noujaïm joined the Fémis in 2016, in the screenplay department from which he graduated in July 2020. His work is permeated by the question of disappearance as a political tool, questioning the relationships of power and domination at work in French society, through the prism of a strong ideal: revolutionary love or the love of revolution.
