Experiencing Interruptions?

The disintegrated

Five young exiles dream of becoming high-level sportsmen with one goal: to contribute to the influence of their country so they can one day be granted French nationality. That’s a good thing... While the world has its eyes on the Olympic Games in Paris, their coach has only one word to say: integration! This coach with authoritarian caricatural methods will do everything to transmit the thirst of victory and make them winners during a particularly intense and... senseless.
But face to him, our kind anti-heroes are less attracted by the exacerbation of masculinity than by the notion of solidarity. A journalist, who was following their adventures initially for the needs of a report, saw their potential...
These young people will become famous and shine, yes, but more because they are jokers than competitors, less because they are enduring that hilarious. A merry band of nickel-plated feet, whose stage name will soon be known all over the world: the Disintegrated.

A sports comedy directed by the young people of the Reception Centre for Asylum Seekers in Herserange as part of a video workshop supervised by France Timmermans and Franck Dépretz in July 2024.

Director Biography - Emin, Salou, Aldo, Ahmed, Dzenis, France Timmermans, Franck Dépretz

Chaque année, depuis 7 ans, Franck Dépretz et France Timmermans animent un stage vidéo pendant l'été avec les jeunes demandeurs et demandeuses d'asile du foyer Adoma d'Herserange. Cette petite semaine de stage vidéo représente les seules vacances qu'auront ces jeunes. Alors, chaque année, l'enjeu est fort : tourner un film en une semaine et profiter. Profiter du moment et profiter de se retrouver. Parce qu'ils ne savent pas s'ils se reverront l'année prochaine, l'obligation de quitter le territoire français (OQTF) n'étant jamais bien loin.
