Dheepan

Sivadhasan (Antonythasan Jesuthasan) is a former Tamil Tiger soldier who is tired of the killing and the war. That’s why he adopts the name Dheepan, taken from a dead man’s passport, and teams up with Yalini (Kalieaswari Srinivasan) and 9-year-old orphan Illayaal (Claudine Vinasithamby). Together they feign being a family in order to be eligible for migration to Europe. Their ploy works, but they were probably hoping to end up somewhere nicer than in the suburban Paris slum that is Le Pré, completely overrun by gangsters and drug peddlers.
