Zano and Naïma, children of the North African diaspora, travel across France and Spain, down to Algeria, to find their origins. They are following in reverse, the path of exile taken by their parents.
Earning Tony Gatlif Best Director at Cannes, Exiles reverses the usual migrant narrative by sending its Franco-Algerian protagonists on a vibrant journey south. Shifting cultural textures make for a road movie brimming with purpose and adventure, with a pair of spirited performances leading the way.
