Bonnarien

Mauricette Bonnarien, a 27-year-old woman, works at the port of Dégrad des Cannes as a dockworker. The rest of the time, she performs slam poetry. Very self-conscious about her surname, given to her ancestor when slavery was abolished, she has begun the administrative process of changing her name. Only her mother knows about it. Now it's time to tell the rest of her family and friends.

Directed by Adiel Goliot, Bonnarien leans on a strong ensemble — Vanessa Champlain, Miremonde Fleuzin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
