Je verrai toujours vos visages

Description

Several victims and perpetrators of violence are given the opportunity to speak with each other within a protected and clearly defined framework. An authentic but fictional ensemble film starring Adèle Exarchopoulos as a survivor of sexual abuse, for which she received a César for Best Supporting Actress. Restorative justice provides victims and perpetrators the chance to engage in conversation within a safe environment. Both one-on-one and in groups that are not directly connected. Chloé (Adèle Exarchopoulos) was sexually abused by her brother during childhood, for which he was convicted. Now, she wants to prevent running into him upon his upcoming release. Thanks to a carefully organized process, communication between the two is made possible. The film also shows a discussion round with Nassim (Dali Benssalah), who committed a serious robbery, and Nawelle (Leïla Bekhti), who survived such an incident, as well as other individuals who want to break the silence. The accompanying persons and their training also play a role in JE VERRAI TOUJOURS VOS VISAGES. Systematically, avoiding dramatizing true-crime elements, yet full of emotion, director Jeanne Herry and her cast explore a complex topic that concerns us all: Under what circumstances can people with opposing positions stay in contact?
