And Then, Violence

🎞️ Movie 15 min FR
2016

Rebecca, 22, is a secular Jewish Parisian Law student. After the recent terror attacks of January, which hit the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, a French Police officer and clients of a Kosher supermarket in the French Capital, she tries to reconnect with Jonathan, 23, her Jewish ex-boyfriend, who's a bit more religious than her, and who's just moved back to Paris after studying in the US. Their daily lives are constantly interrupted by the violence and the ambient anti-Semitism, which have infiltrated French society over the past few years. Stuck in between their fear, living as Jews in France, their will to leave for a safer place, and their strong ties to a country they have so dearly loved for generations, Rebecca, Jonathan and their families wonder what happened to the French Republic, once a symbol of freedom, equality and fraternity; now a broken system where communities curl up on themselves, allowing violence and hate to resurface. For the first time in its History, France has had to resort to protecting Jewish schools and Synagogues with the armed soldiers. What happened to the fraternity French people showcased to the World, after the attacks, in the largest demonstration since the liberation of Paris in 1944? Rebecca and her family once felt French first, but it seems that they are constantly reminded of their Jewish identity. An inner struggle is taking place within French society and throughout Europe, painfully reopening scars of World War II.
