FFF24: All Your Faces

Synopsis

A powerhouse cast - Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue Is the Warmest Colour) and Gilles Lellouche (Kompromat, AF FFF22) - headlines this compelling drama about France’s Restorative Justice program, first introduced in Australia in 2001 and later in France in 2014. The program brings together crime victims and offenders in a controlled environment for open dialogue.
The film follows two stories, in which six characters, three offenders and three victims, cautiously take part in this process. Their experiences veer between anger and hope, alliances and torn relationships, realisations, and regained trust. For some, there is even the possibility of restoration...
Praised for her ‘talent for unearthing fascinating subjects and bringing them to the wider public’s attention without ever betraying their essence,’ writer/director Jeanne Herry (In Safe Hands, AF FFF19) dramatises the sometimes-controversial program that assists criminals to take responsibility for their actions and helps victims heal. Told with honesty and empathy, All Your Faces explores how the unspeakable can be subverted to guide characters on journeys of self-realisation and forgiveness in this intelligent and emotional film.
