| UNE HISTOIRE VRAIE
Jalili recherche un jeune acteur pour son prochain film. Il choisit celui qui lui semble convenir le mieux: un garçon d'une douzaine d'années qui travaille déjà depuis longtemps et vit sans famille dans des conditions très difficiles. Après avoir commencé le tournage de son film, Jalili découvre que son jeune acteur souffre d'une maladie grave. Il arrête la fiction pour se consacrer à l'histoire de ce jeune adolescent qu'il cherche à sauver. Jalili filme le face à face avec la maladie, le corps médical, la bureaucratie. Parallèlement, ce jeune garçon qui n'a connu que brimades et humiliations pendant toute sa vie, s'éveille à l'espoir et à un monde meilleur. En jouant le jeu jusqu'au bout, il accepte de raviver certaines souffrances autant psychologiques que physiques car il est conscient que c'est le prix à payer pour sa guérison. | A TRUE STORY
Jalili is looking for a young actor to play in his next film. He finds someone who appears to fit the bill: a 12-year-old boy from a poor family who already has working experience. But soon after shooting begins, Jalili discovers that his young star is stricken with a serious illness. He stops the fiction and devotes himself to the true story of this boy in his struggle to survive. Jalili documents the boy's confrontation with the illness itself, the medical corps and the bureaucracy involved in his case. As well, he chronicles the boy's slow awakening from misery and despair to a faint dawn of hope and recovery. This evolution is not without its risks and obstacles, however. Old wounds are opened in the process. But Jalili - and his subject - clearly feel the risks are worth taking. |
