Sinossi
A Tangeri, tre vite si intrecciano nel periodo natalizio. Félicité, giovane migrante camerunense, lotta per dare una degna sepoltura all’amica perduta e sopravvivere alla precarietà. Hamid, intermediario ambizioso, vede crollare le proprie illusioni di ascesa sociale, mentre Kenza e Badr, coppia borghese in apparenza perfetta, trasformano la casa in un luogo di tensioni e violenza. Les Formis (The Ants) racconta ingiustizia, resilienza e la possibilità di rinascita attraverso la dignità e la speranza di Félicité.
In Tangier, three lives intersect during the Christmas season. Félicité, a young Cameroonian migrant, struggles to give her lost friend a dignified burial while surviving in precarious conditions. Hamid, an ambitious middleman, sees his social aspirations collapse, while Kenza and Badr, a seemingly perfect bourgeois couple, turn their home into a space of tension and violence. Les Formis (The Ants) explores injustice, resilience, and the possibility of rebirth through Félicité’s dignity and hope.
