"Fahim, the Little Chess Prince", this is the title of the film we want to talk about
The film by director Pierre-François Martin-Laval, with Gerard Depardieu and Assad Ahmed, is based on a true story, a story about immigration, hope, integration and redemption.
The character of little Assad Ahmed, Fahim Mohammad in the film, interprets with naturalness and intensity a story that his father made him live like a fairy tale, hiding from his eyes the problems he encountered, telling him that their journey to France was to meet a great chess master.
For his part, the very good Gerard Depardieu, the chess master Sylvain Charpentier, who welcomes him and transmits him into the small talent, his own missed life opportunity of being a chess champion.
The themes of reception and political asylum are caressed, but also the group spirit between boys and healthy competition between boys.
Once again, chess as "Masters of Life"
and why not, this time also an opportunity to live a better life.
