Le Havre (G)

Le Havre follows Marcel Marx (Andre Wilms), a former author who has retreated into a voluntary exile in the port city of Le Havre to become a shoe-shiner. Marx`s life takes an interesting turn when fate suddenly throws in his path an underage immigrant refugee from Africa. Le Havre features a principally French cast, including Andre Wilms, Jean-Pierre Daroussin and Jean-Pierre Leaud, as well as Kaurismäki regular Kati Outinen and newcomer Blondin Miguel.
