Abstract

In a small, quiet town in the south of France, Marie started afresh. As head cook in a retirement home, her daily life is characterized by a certain stability until the unexpected arrival of a priest from Congo. Patrick, a charismatic priest, is very popular with the staff and residents, with the exception of Marie. She is disturbed by his arrival, which takes her back to her past. Director Ellie Foumbi presents her main character with a challenge. The thriller OUR FATHER, THE DEVIL explores the issues of guilt, forgiveness and second chances for former child soldiers who have become adults.
