Le chant d'Ahmed

A very close to reality tale, set in Paris, showing the daily life of an old Arab worker, employee in a bath shower facility monitored by Mairie de Paris - Paris City Hall organization and administration. It is mainly destined to homeless, wagrants, poor people who want to stay clean, worthy. It is a social and very accurate analysis of the way many people now survive in French big cities. And besides, it tells the moving friendship between an old timer and a young employee to whom he teaches the job, cleaning the shower tubs. So you have here a social documentary and a too short and poignant relationship between two generations; the old man could be the young man's grandfather. The weak link is the acting, I think it is a bit unconvincing with some dialogues.... Not overall acting, just dialogues. People don't speak like this in real life.
