A teacher flees to France from his war-torn country in this deeply affecting drama.
‘I know very well the reality of refugees looking for asylum,’ says award-winning director Haroun (A Screaming Man), who emigrated to France from Chad in the 1980s. In his new feature, a teacher (Ebouaney) flees tragedy in his war-torn country and escapes to France, where he falls for a French woman (Bonnaire). A Season in France is a deeply affecting and humane drama about the bitter fate of those driven from their home but unwelcome elsewhere.
