Dheepan
A Tamil Tiger fighter leaves Sri Lanka with a woman and a child he has never met, the three of them travelling as a family on dead people's papers, and takes a caretaker's job in a housing estate outside Paris run by a drug crew. The invented family starts to become one. Audiard borrowing the shape of a Western for an immigration story.
