Jouer avec le feu

Playing with Fire focuses on Pierre's struggle to raise his two sons alone. His younger son Louis is about to step into a new stage of his life by going to Paris. On the other hand, Fus chooses a path completely opposite to his father's values. His fascinating interest in violence draws him to far-right groups. As family bonds and love mingle with hatred, a disaster causes this delicate balance to be disrupted. The film impressively reflects the importance of family ties, the radicalization process of a young individual, and a father's helplessness. Viewers can closely see how the emotional journeys of the characters and complex situations affect them.

Playing with Fire stands out, especially with its handling of the radicalization process of young people and family relationships. These issues leave a deep impact on the viewers.
