Mahamat-Saleh HAROUN 

When the Commission of Truth and Justice announce amnesty for Chad's civil war criminals, Atim (Ali Barkai) accepts his father's gun from his blind grandfather (Khayar Oumar Defallah, "Bye Bye Africa") and leaves his home to avenge his dad's death during "Daratt."
Laura: Writer/director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's ("Abouna") film is a beautifully characterized reflection on revenge and forgiveness that is both reminiscent of and an inverse of the Dardennes brothers' 2002 "The Son." "Daratt" also features a tradesman (in the former film, a carpenter; here a baker) who has a troubling connection to the teenaged boy who would be his apprentice. The African film, though, is also set against a political backdrop and has external characters who impact the primary relationship. It is also a coming of age story where an angry young man becomes a man through an act of forgiveness.
