Zusammenfassung
'La faute à Voltaire', a drama-comedy directed by Abdellatif Kechiche in 2000, draws parallels with Voltaire's 'Candide'. The movie explores the life of Jallel, a young North-African immigrant trying to make a living in France. It delves into themes of immigration, struggle, friendship, love, and solidarity among the marginalized communities. Although not extensively detailed, these sources suggest that the film follows Jallel's journey from initial hardships to finding some stability, while still grappling with the challenges faced by immigrants in their quest for a better life.
