I've just finished shooting a full length feature - working title "La Mallette Rouge" playing "Arif" a farmer and father of a family in just post war Bosnia. Written by the director Bernard Mazauric the film tells the story of a little Serbian girl lost in the forest after her father has been shot. She finds herself at Arif's farm and he has to look after her ... "you can't leave a little girl alone in the forest" But he knows if he takes her to the local police, as a Serb she will be maltreated, "If I saw a policeman or any other imbecile hurt a little girl, I would kill him ... Do you understand?" So he decides to take the 2 days necessary to take her to the Red Cross. However .... She finally has to stay with Arif and his family until she decides to run away and look for her father.
The post production is now underway and we hope the film will be ready for Cannes!
