Julien Colonna\u2018s astonishing first feature turns the mafia genre on its head, very simply by telling it from the point of view of a 15-year-old girl. When summer begins, Lesia is going to the beach and wrapped up in clandestine meetings with her boyfriend\u2026 until she\u2019s suddenly whisked away by a man on a motorbike and taken to the isolated seaside villa where her Corsican crime-boss father is on the lam. It\u2019s a ritual she\u2019s more than familiar with; it\u2019s the story of her life. But this is the summer Lesia\u2019s father opens both his heart and his world to her, and she will never be the same. Co-written with COLCOA\/TAFFF veteran writer-director\u00a0Jeanne Herry\u00a0(In Safe Hands\u00a0and\u00a0All Your Faces),\u00a0The Kingdom\u00a0not only lures us into that sinister world, but is simultaneously moving, chilling and complex in its illustration of how the torch is passed in an endless wheel of violence.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
