Director Kim Chapiron co-wrote The Young Imam with Ladj Ly, filmmaker of the cult film Les Miserables. Both films take place in Montfermeil and each tells of a tragic life in the Parisian suburbs. But this time, the confrontations between commuters and police gave way to an unexpected course. Ali, a former delinquent boy turned into an acclaimed and adored young imam, must face his fate.
