Julien Colonna
In the Corsican summer of 1995, teenager Lesia (Ghjuvanna Benedetti) is whisked away to an isolated villa where her mafioso father (Saveriu Santucci) is hiding with his clan. And thus begins the tumultuous bullet-holed journey of a daughter and her father on the run, learning to understand and love each other. In his first feature, Julien Colonna, a Corsican himself, paints a personal and de-glamourised picture of the gangster lifestyle. With powerful performances from both leads, this Cannes film is like a gunshot: clean, precise and deadly.
