The 2019 Sacramento French Film Festival opens on Friday, June 21, with Invisibles (Les Invisibles), a film filled with humor and hope that was a big hit in France.
Envol (meaning “taking flight”) is a homeless day shelter for women in the bleak north of France. It is run by women: Manu, Audrey, Angélique and their new volunteer, Hélène. They genuinely care for the women who line up at the gates every morning. The shelter offers a warm shower, a hot meal, camaraderie, and counseling. But the city declares that Envol is not helping enough women get off the streets and that it must close in three months.
Audrey, Manu, and the others decide to make the best out of these final months and do whatever it takes to help their girls one last time. That includes bending the rules.
Invisibles successfully mixes comedy with a documentary approach. Real-life homeless women humorously portray characters similar to themselves. That includes Adolpha van Meerhaeghe. Like the woman she plays – Chantal, maybe the most memorable character in the film – she served time in prison for killing her violent husband.
This sensitive, feel-good comedy is about a topic that is very relevant right here in Sacramento.
Doors at 6:00 p.m.
Screening at 7:00 p.m.
Following the screening, stay for a Champagne and dessert party included in the price of admission.
The Sacramento French Film Festival (SFFF) is a unique cultural event that brings people together around films and French culture in a festive atmosphere. The SFFF celebrates the artistic, cultural, social and historical values of film. The SFFF fosters friendly relations between American and French people through the universal language of the 7th Art.
