Special: DIE UNERWÜNSCHTEN - OmU

In the organizer's words:

Special: THE UNWANTED - OmU

After his great international success with "Les Misérables" (2019), Ladj Ly once again points out a sore point in French society. Where French people with a migrant background make up the majority, they should also be able to help shape politics. With "Les Indésirables", Ladj Ly continues his political cinema from the Parisian banlieues - and shows a committed young woman who is running for mayor. Haby, a young French woman whose family immigrated from Mali, works in the administration of her home town. When Pierre, a doctor by profession, is appointed interim mayor, long-simmering conflicts over the redevelopment of a district threaten to escalate. When an illegal neighborhood kitchen in a residential building burns down, Pierre has the building cleared by the police in order to take the opportunity to demolish it. In order to prevent further escalation through ruthless politics, Haby puts herself forward as Pierre's opponent in the upcoming mayoral election. Can she soften the hardened fronts between French people with an immigrant background and French people without an immigrant background?
