Plot / Synopsis

The winner of four César awards, including best picture and director, Abdellatif Kechiche’s The Secret of the Grain is a stirring drama about the daily joys and struggles of a bustling French-Arab family. It has the texture of a documentary but a classic, almost Shakespearean structure: when patriarch Slimane acts on his wish to open a portside restaurant specializing in his ex-wife’s couscous and fish, the extended clan’s passions and problems explode, leading to an engrossing, suspenseful climax. With sensitivity and grit, The Secret of the Grain celebrates the role food plays in family life and gets to the core of contemporary immigrant experience. ~ ifcfilms

The city of Sète, on the harbor. Monsieur Slimani, a broken-down man of sixty, is still working at the shipyard, the job getting harder as the years go by. He’s divorced and doing all he can to stay close to his family. A history of break-ups and conflict is always just beneath the surface and money troubles only make matters worse. In these difficult times, it seems everything adds to Monsieur Slimani’s feeling of helplessness and failure. He constantly thinks about his one way out – creating his own business, a restaurant. Not an easy proposition, though, since his slim and irregular income hardly provides what he needs for start-up. But that doesn’t stop him from dreaming, and it doesn’t stop him from talking about his dream, to his family, among others. Little by little, the family pulls together around the project, which, for each and every member, becomes the symbol of a better life. Their go-to spirit and unflagging efforts eventually make that dream come true... sort of. ~ patheinternational
