Actress and director Yolande Moreau turns her gaze to the refugee camps in Calais and Grande-Synthe through the story of a 28-year-old Kurdish man who dreams of reaching England. The fifth guest filmmaker in ARTE Reportage Réfugiés' multimedia series, Yolande Moreau spent ten days in the jungles of Calais and Grande-Synthe in January 2016. She returned with a documentary film that alternates between interviews conducted in the field and texts written by Laurent Gaudé and read by the actress and director. Following Régis Wargnier in Nepal, Pierre Schoeller in Iraq, Agnès Merlet in Lebanon, and Claire Denis in Chad, Yolande Moreau offers a personal work. Neither reportage nor documentary, in this deliberate middle ground, she takes us on a thirty-minute journey to "Nowhere, in France."
