Poverty and beauty are close together in the strip. Director Claus Drexel dedicates his film to the homeless in Paris.
Paris – Christine has lived on the streets for years. Like many of the homeless people in Paris, she hides in makeshift shelters to sleep and stands in line in front of soup kitchens.
One day, eight-year-old Suli appears in front of her shelter. She decides to chase him away. But when she realizes that the Eritrean boy was separated from his mother, she finally takes care of him.
With “Under the Stars of Paris”, the German director Claus Drexel is dedicating another film to the homeless. But this time it's not a documentary, but a realistic fairy tale. The 53-year-old linked two topics: that of the French homeless and that of homeless migrants.
