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. The story centres around young Ibrahim whose life is split between his father Ahmed, a conscientious and reserved oyster seller in the brasserie of the French Royal Opéra, and his friend Achille from technical college, who’s older than he is and specialises in dodgy schemes. And it’s as a direct result of one such plan that Ahmed’s dream of recovering his dignity and working on the restaurant floor is shattered when he’s forced to foot the bill for a theft-gone-wrong committed by his son. Relations become strained, but Ibrahim is determined to make amends, whatever the risks, so as to see his father’s smile once again and to finally find out who he himself is... Le Pacte will steer the film’s release in France on 9 December.
