StudioCanal have sent us the the official UK trailer for acclaimed director Jacques Audiard's award winning Dheepan (2015), starring Jesuthasan Antonythasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, and Claudine Vinasithamby. The film will open in cinemas across the country on April 5.
Last year, the film won the prestigious Won Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
From the director of A Prophet and Rust and Bone comes the powerful story of Dheepan, a Sri Lankan Tamil warrior who is forced to flee to France to escape the civil war, posing as a family with a woman and young girl he has never previously met.
Finding work as a caretaker of a housing block in the suburbs of Paris, Dheepan works to build a new life and home for his 'wife' and 'daughter', but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens the violence from his past, and he is left fighting for their livelihood, and eventually their lives.
