Abdellatif Kechiche / France, Italy / 2017 / 174 min / French

Summer, 1994. Young Amin returns from Paris to his hometown in the south of France, to spend the holidays with family and friends from his childhood. Spending his days with cousin Tony and friend Ophélia at local bars, his parents’ Tunisian restaurant and the beach. Enamoured with the beautiful women who surround him there, he observes them. Meanwhile, his hot-blooded cousin indulges in carnal pleasures. But, as the Arabic saying goes, when it goes for love, the ‘mektoub’ always has the final world.

Slovenia’s economy relies on workers from Kosovo. But how does society accept their children? The documentary New Classmates explores the background of Kosovar immigration and the challenges their children face integrating into a new country. It highlights the stories of four children of immigrant families and their parents, who face various obstacles due to their ethnic background and limited knowledge of the Slovenian language.
