Unclassified 18+ | 84 Mins
2002 | DCP | FRA, CHD, NLD | D: Mahamat-Saleh Haroun
Chadian, Arabic, French/English Subtitles
Two brothers, aged 15 and 8, embark on a sometimes-surreal quest for their missing father in the city of N’Djamena, which may be a metaphor for the story of the nation of Chad.
Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s second feature confronts big themes of love, grief, death and madness through a simple story, beautifully told.
“Rich in understated humanity, Abouna is a film about love and loss, imbued with the most profound tenderness towards children and childhood.” – The Guardian
