Synopsis
Despite a paralyzed leg that could have barred most avenues, Grigris, 25 year old, dreams of being a dancer. A challenge. But his dreams are dashed when his father-in-law falls critically ill. To save him, Grigris resolves to work for petrol traffickers…

« Grigris is a socially conscious morality play in a grand European tradition stetching back through the Dardennes and Ken Loach to the Italian neorealist movement »

Hollywood Reporter - Stephen Dalton 21/05/2013

« What Haroun generously shares with the audience is a portrayal of an individual whose optimism is more grounded than his precariousness. Not only is he striving to help his family but he is given a purpose and a passion beyond mere survival. »
