About
llie Foumbi’s debut feature length film is powerful and deeply suspenseful. Our Father, the Devil burns with the righteous intensity of its intriguing heroine as well as the filmmaker’s willingness to take audiences on a morally ambiguous journey. Provocative and sure footed, the film interrogates trauma, revenge, survival, loss, love and other human complexities with brilliant performances and masterful storytelling.
Marie, the head cook of a retirement home in the south of France, is keeping a secret—she’s a former child soldier. Silently struggling with her traumatic former life, Marie hides her PTSD from those around her. Her life is turned upside down when a priest arrives at the home. Marie immediately recognises him from her past and must decide how to react.
an exceptionally haunting, masterful film
