A housing project that seems more like an amphitheater, bears witness to a sacrifice. In 2002, Georges Mondesir dies after an encounter with the police. He’s crazy, or just simple-minded. When face to face with the police, Mondesir is the Other. It’s the underlying ancestral struggle.
In this hypnotic short, a series of swooping long takes, high-wire dramatic recreations, and powerful eyewitness accounts begin to piece together the horrifying events that took place on a French housing project. A cinematic procedural on police violence that’s searching for the nature of truth.
