La Vie de château
Synopsis
At Small Castle, asylum seekers from around the world keep themselves busy while waiting to know if their demand will be accepted. But the name of the place invites to a tale, with its acrid humor, little by little, the castle becomes populated by a princess who spits snakes, a generous king, ghosts haunting corridors.
