The first feature film helmed by actor Samir Guesmi, Ibrahim has already earned itself the 2020 Cannes Film Festival’s Official Selection label, as well as triumphing at the Angoulême Film Festival (scooping four trophies, including that for Best Film) and walking away with Rome’s Alice nella Città Golden Camera Award. Produced by Why Not and sold worldwide by Wild Bunch, Ibrahim stars Abdel Benhader, Samir Guesmi himself, Rabah Nait Oufella, Luàna Bajrami and Philippe Rebbot. Penned by the director, the story revolves around young Ibrahim whose life is split between his father - the serious and reserved Ahmed who prepares shellfish at the Royal Opera brasserie - and Achille, his best friend at tech college. Achille is older than Ibrahim and a past master at screwing things up. And it’s because of him that Ahmed’s dreams of recovering his dignity and improving his professional life are shattered when he has to pay for a botched robbery carried out by his son. Relations between father and son are strained to breaking point but Ibrahim resolves to do whatever it takes to make amends, to put a smile back on Ahmed’s face and to find finally himself… Having initially planned for the film to be released in France in December of last year, Le Pacte are now waiting for cinemas to re-open before rescheduling the film’s release.
