When the civil war in Chad ends, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission does not punish those involved in the genocide, so individuals seek justice on their own. Ordered by his grandfather to avenge his family's deaths, the orphan Atim looks for Nassara, his father's killer. Instead of finding a cold-blooded murderer, Atim meets a charitable baker and soon-to-be father who seeks redemption. Nassara hires Atim as his assistant and takes him into his home. When Nassara asks to adopt him, Atim pretends that he needs his father's approval, but instead of bringing Nassara to his village, he brings him to the desert where they meet his grandfather. In French and Arabic with English subtitles. 96 minutes. France, Chad, Belgium, Austria (2006) Dir: Mahamat-Saleh Haroun.

Presented as part of The Tournes Festival. Presented by: Jay Geller, Assistant Professor of Modern Jewish Culture, Vanderbilt Divinity School. Presenters will provide an introduction and facilitate post-screening discussion for each film. Sarratt Cinema is located on the first floor of the Sarratt Student Center at Vanderbilt University.
