Among the Almond Trees

This is excatly the kind of topic I wait for when I watch a short film, especially French. Realistic, powerful, with a splendid acting and directing. It shows painful situations, gloomy stories, without any real ending, but so close to reality that the audiences can't prevent themselves to recognize their own problems in those stories. This one speaks of a Syrian born family living in France and who suddenly decides to obtain divorce, with all the bureaucratic problems you can imagine. I don't know any of the actors but that doesn't prevent you to appreciate this tremendous little film. Gripping story.
