Tout va bien, directed by Thomas Ellis, and project developed during LabDoc 2020, has been enjoying remarkable success since its release on January 7.
Tout va bien follows the story of five teenagers aged 14 to 19 who crossed deserts and seas on their own. Upon arriving in Marseille, these girls and boys carry within them the burning hope of a new life. They learn a trade, a country, new habits, and for some, a new language. “Everything is fine,” they stubbornly repeat to their families. But the real journey is only just beginning…
Driven by the enthusiasm of both audiences and critics, the film has been extended in theaters in more than 45 cities across France. An unmissable documentary, praised for the accuracy of its perspective and the strength of its direction, it continues a very strong critical and public run.
A great source of pride for Marseille and for Meditalents to see the film resonate so widely.
