On 2nd December, a group of senior pupils from Currie Community High School together with two of their French teachers and the French assistant went to the French Institute for a free screening of “Le Havre”, set in the French port city of the title.
We all enjoyed this simple yet beautiful film in which ordinary people do extraordinary things. We also enjoyed the atmospheric “ambiance” of the Institute’s Theatre Room and the warm welcome of the Reception desk staff.
It was a great experience for our pupils who were very touched by this heart-wrenching comedy-drama and discovered a small bit of movie magic, a story that plays more as a fable even as it deals with something as topical as immigration but going beyond it and touching deeper issues such as the human capacity for loyalty, decency and even love.
