Aissa

Streaming video - 2016

Aissa, a young Congolese woman living illegally in France, must lie about her age in order to stay in the country. Through the coldly scrutinizing lens of a medical examination, director Trehin-Lalanne probes the deeply personal implications of territorial boundaries that dictate the legality of an individual. Nominated for a Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for a **César Award** for Best Short Film.
