A Screaming Man / Un Homme qui Crie

[Machine Translation] Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival, as well as Best Actor and Best Screenplay awards at the Chicago International Film Festival, Dubai International Film Festival, and more! Set in Chad during the civil war, this is a gem of a human drama about an elderly former swimming champion who is at the mercy of rapid social change. Against the backdrop of civil war, the advance of Chinese capital, and other little-known aspects of Chad, a small African country, this excellent film depicts the universal intergenerational conflict between father and son and their selfless love. --Chad in the present day. Adam, a one-time swimming champion in his sixties, works as a pool attendant at a luxury hotel. But when the hotel is replaced by a new Chinese owner, he is forced to give his job to his son, Abdel. Driven by rage, Adam feels he has been socially humiliated. Meanwhile, Chad is in the midst of civil war turmoil. Rebel forces are attacking government forces. The government asks citizens to "join the war effort" and gives money to volunteers who are old enough to fight against the enemy. The local mayor often forced Adam to join the war. Adam has no money, only his son.
