Lettre à la prison (1969)
Film Synopsis
In 1970, a young Tunisian man arrives in France for the first time. He has been charged by his family to bring help to older brother, who is in prison after having been wrongly accused of murder. His first port of call is Marseilles, where he is struck by the difference between the French Tunisians and his fellow countrymen back home in Tunisia. Gradually, the young man starts to wonder whether his brother is indeed innocent of the crime he is alleged to have committed. Worse, he begins to have doubts over his own identity...© James Travers
