Critically-acclaimed French film 'Quand Tu Descendras du Ciel' (From Heaven) will be screened at at 3 pm on Tuesday December 16 and Wednesday December 17 at 6.30 pm at the Alliance Francaise.

Directed by Eric Guirado the film follows a newly hired city worker as he confronts a terrible quandary: he is asked to forcibly remove a homeless man, whom he has just befriended, from the city.

Jérôme and his mother struggle to keep their dairy farm running. One morning, he heads for town to look for work for a couple of months. Jérôme then strikes up a friendship with La Chignole, a boisterous tramp, and gets hired by the local mayor to assist another worker, Lucien, to decorate the town's Christmas trees.

But it's not long before an unexpected and less pleasant aspect of his job is revealed when city hall applies anti-begging laws to "clean out" the town center of its homeless people and tramps during the Christmas period. Lucien puts the pressure on and Jérôme, fighting his conscience, reluctantly carries out his job. That is until the day he discovers that La Chignole is one of the homeless convoy.

With Benoît Giros, Serge Riaboukine, Jean-François Gallotte and Anne Coesens in the lead roles the film with English subtitles won Jean Carment Award, Audience Award at the - 2003 Angers European First Film Festival.
