L'offre

Sami will be thirty soon, and after a long job search he is finally invited for an interview. But with each new round of interviews, what was originally an attractive job offer from a Swiss intelligence agency brings increasing complications. His Algerian background is brought more into focus, and the question arises whether he is a suitable candidate because of his skills or because of his ethnicity. Sami must face not only his personal dilemma but also pressure from his friends and family. Though constructed on a simple foundation, The Offer is a telling probe into the issues facing people living in a multicultural society. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
