Raqqa, Syria, Spring 2015. Faustine discovers the hell in which she has embarked with her 5 year-old son. In Paris, Gabriel and Adnan, two young activists, are moved by the distress of Sylvain, Faustine's husband. They agree to set up a high-risk exfiltration operation. The true story of two worlds and that of a generation.
"If you like suspense with a historical and political backdrop (somewhat in the vein of 'Argo'), you'll enjoy 'Exfiltrés'. This French production keeps the tension until the last moment, alternating perspectives between the characters who suffer despair in Paris and those who go through hell in Syria. The feature stands out for addressing an angle that we don't always see: in addition to painting heroes and villains in typical Hollywood style, it shows us how a war conflict can affect both societies involved - for better or for worse."
