Yes, what a wonderful life, deep in hell, deep in sh.... A terrific and shocking little feature that would not have denied Ken Loach. The tale of a man dedicated to teach and train young kids to football - soccer - to work with them for free, a volunteering job and who, in the same time can not find a job, a man who fights every day to survive against a blind and deaf bureaucracy. A maze of complicated procedures made to destroy people. This short movie is a violent indictment against the modern world, in the pure Ken Loach style. An awesome depressing, disturbing social drama which is forbidden to miss.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
