Description

Aissa, a young Congolese woman living illegally in France, must lie about her age in order to stay in the country. Through the coldly scrutinizing lens of a medical examination, director Trehin-Lalanne probes the deeply personal implications of territorial boundaries that dictate the legality of an individual.

Nominated for a Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival. Nominated for a Cesar Award for Best Short Film.
