The programmer’s eye
Far’Hook, a young rapper, has to leave Paris to go on the run. He accompanies Serge, a professional stonemason and construction painter who’s touring the French harbours in painter Joseph Vernet’s footsteps. Despite their differences, the young Muslim rapper and the laconic worker become friends. An important politically-inclined film starring two wonderful tempered actors on screen.
