Both a study of a budding friendship and a compassionate look at the perils faced by illegal immigrants, Philippe Lioret’s Welcome centers on Bilal, a 17-year-old Iraqi Kurd who is stuck in Calais, and Simon, a recently divorced swimming teacher. Desperate to join his girlfriend in London, Bilal vows to swim across the English Channel if he has to, setting the stage for his meeting with Simon.

Judith Ralitzer is a successful crime novelist in search of inspiration for her next bestseller. A notorious serial killer escapes from prison. A university professor disappears. Huguette, a hairdresser, finds herself abandoned on the side of a motorway by her fiancé. Pierre, a passer-by, offers to help her. Is there anything to link these apparently unconnected events…?
