Que l’amour
Laetitia Mikles
Jury Award, FIFA 2020
In his early twenties, Abdel — a young French man of Algerian origin — discovers the work of Jacques Brel. This explosive encounter with words will prove a revelation and will grow into a profound desire to perform the songs of this giant of French chanson. Laetitia Mikles provides a window on the intimate, day-to-day life of a young singer finding his voice. Through her film, we discover a bright and charismatic man who, by way of Brel’s poetry, will come to reconnect with his Algerian roots. A film overflowing with beauty and authenticity.
