Le Havre plot
'Le Havre' tells the story of Marcel Marx, a former writer and well-known Bohemian. He has retired to voluntary exile in the French port of Le Havre, where he works as an honorable but not-so-profitable shoe shiner. Marcel has buried his dreams of a literary breakthrough, and lives happily within the triangle of his favorite bar, his job and his wife Arletty, when fate suddenly throws an underage immigrant refugee from Africa in his path. Using his innate optimism and his unwavering solidarity with the residents of his neighborhood as his only weapon, Marcel will take on the fishing nets of the police, which are increasingly closing around the young refugee.
