Catherine Corsini : 2012
Three Worlds
Al, a young man from a modest background is about to marry his boss's daughter, along with succeeding him as the head of a car dealership. One night, while driving back from his stag night party, he knocks down a stranger, but egged on by his two childhood friends in the car with him, he doesn't stop. Over the following days, he is haunted by his cowardly actions and decides to inquire about his victim. What he does not know is that Juliette, a young woman, had witnessed the entire accident from her balcony. She is the one who had called 911 and helped the victim's wife Vera, a Moldavian immigrant with no residency papers. But when Juliette recognises Al as the reckless driver in the hospital corridor, she is unable to denounce him. Al is dragged into a spiral to preserve a secret which could cost him dearly. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard selection at Festival de Cannes 2012.
