Emmanuel

Emmanuel is in his twenties and studies at the dance conservatory. Between his administrative and financial setbacks and the fiasco of an audition that could have simplified everything, Emmanuel goes through a difficult day. But, by confronting some obstacles, he confronts himself and realizes how far he has come. Emmanuel has become a young adult.

Directed by Benjamin Vu, Emmanuel leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Baptiste Le Vaillant, Melissa Guers, François Nambot — 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 2022.
