In the French film group, I came across a film with the promising title La vie de château, 2017, directed by Modi Barry and Cedric Ido. However, from the very first shots it becomes clear which district of Paris we will be shown - this is the area in which immigrants from different countries, mainly from Africa, settled, what they do not call real work, except that some of them really do something. The rest trade in the district who, sometimes crimes, and quite a large number of them are engaged in attracting customers to the local “beauty salon” – such a rather choppy hairdresser, and also compete on this soil. Thinking about working somewhere does not occur to them. The main character - Charles (Jackie Ido) - even the most decent of them, wants to buy himself a hairdresser, for which he makes almost a friendship with her owner - Kurd Murat, but in the end he does not get any of this. That’s how you look at such Parisian life and it becomes a little sad, but they also consider themselves Parisians, as it turns out – I did not come here from Nigeria to settle somewhere in the wilderness, I am a Parisian, at least agree on Versailles. The French name La vie de château means In French it means when a person doesn't work much, but enjoys a fancy existence.
