Laurent et Safi (2015)
Directed by Anton Vassil

Film Synopsis

Laurent Balzan, an ambitious 27-year-old company executive, leads a privileged and comfortable life in France.  For Safiatou, a woman from Mali who now lives in France, Laurent's junior by three years, life is somewhat more challenging.  These two young people, who come from two wildly differently worlds, come into contact by chance on the internet and soon discover a strong mutual attraction.  Well, it's a well-known fact that opposites attract...

As they get to know one another, Laurent and Safiatou soon come to realise that they are meant for one another, in spite of the fact that both are already engaged.  The former is affianced to Marie-Domitille, a young woman from a well-heeled family of Laurent's own milieu; the latter is to marry a man in her own country.  The course of true love never did run smoothly, and Laurent and Safiatou soon discover just how true this adage is as they embark on a love affair where everything seems to be against them...
