Généalogie de la violence
Synopsis
Without an apparent reason, a young man of North African origin, sitting in his car with his girlfriend, is violently searched by the police. Thanks to the use of modern techniques, such as 3D scan and AI, the film restores the experience of dispossession of one’s own body and the humiliation of the young man, witnessed by his incredulous girlfriend.
