Brûleurs

Directed by Barney Frydman

In a dilapidated post-Arab Spring Tunisia, Jelil, 16, decides to follow his two older brothers, Majid the small-timer and Yassine the idealist, to Sicily. But there, there is disillusionment, they find greater misery there. Jelil and Majid then choose the path of delinquency, and a lousy move costs the life of Yassine, the only one who kept the balance in the group. Traumatized by the death of his brother, Jelil wants to return to Tunisia, but Majid, manipulated by a local mafia, pushes him against his will to do one last big thing: murder a little gangster in Belgium. Without knowing it, Jelil and Majid participate in the murder of a much bigger fish, the consequences of which will be tragic for the two brothers...
