It’s called samba, “like dancing”. Not Brazilian, Senegalese. He chained precarious jobs in France for a decade. Along with other friends in his misfortune, he finds himself on the verge of being escorted to the border in Roissy one day. She is a senior executive and her name is Alice. She struggles to recover from a burnout as she volunteers for an organization that helps immigrants. These two survivors will help each other… They are somewhat similar to the characters of Omar Sy and Charlotte Gainsbourg: poles apart. Daughter of stars, singer and auteur muse of cinema. He is a boy from the slums of immigrants, blessed by the star of popular comedies she. untouchables and a César in 2012.
mutual stage fright
At first glance, there is nothing in common. It’s easy to imagine a first date with a high level of stage fright. “Experiencing a love story with Charlotte Gainsbourg was scary and new to me.
