Under Article 9TER, Meruzhan, Ardiana, Nedzhib and Drafanil have applied for a right of residence in Belgium in order to obtain a kidney transplant. But an absurd application of the law puts them in a tragic in-between situation: kept alive by dialysis, they are under constant threat of deportation from the country, which would mean their death.
Director Biography – Chris Pellerin
Chris Pellerin is a French director, born in the depths of Brittany in 1970. After several years in England and Italy where she studied theatre and foreign literature, Chris began drawing and painting on her own. Back in France, she enrolled at the Beaux-Arts in Caen in 1994. She continues drawing and practices video on a daily basis, like a logbook. From this ephemeral captured, from these little things from which the intimate emerges, she decides to set up laboratories of plastic and visual experiments in enclosed places or confinement: in prison, in psychiatry, rest home … The beings put on the margins of our societies become the protagonists of his films, participate in the creative process and tell themselves beyond words, in what emerges from the intimacy and singularity of each.
