A Trial of Miracles with the Rapper Dizzy: Social and Environmental Comedy in Cinema

From school to ecology is just one step and three letters, as La Cour des miracles shows us, the second feature film by the Karine May-Hakim Zuhan duo after Rue des cités in 2013, a social comedy that reminds us that going back to school also happens on the big screen, L A few weeks before the release of ‘École est à nous.

In front of the director’s camera, Rachida Brackney, Anaide Rozami (Les Olympiades), Sébastien Chassan and Raphael Quenard (both in the coupe!) and rapper Dizzy will face the main challenge: to give birth first. “Green School” in the suburbs to prevent their establishment in Saint-Saint-Denis from being emptied in favor of a more modern one that had just opened.

Adults pay for the institutional ship, children never cease to amaze us, and the connection between this whole small world remains.

A wonderful project that will obviously not be easy, because the teachers involved in this reform do not really have a green thumb or an environmental fiber. Hence the double-meaning title of this social comedy shot in Aubervilliers, the filmmakers’ favorite town: “The figurative meaning with all these untrained teachers sent to the coals, who are out of place and have to face situations that sometimes defy understanding”explains Karine May in the press kit.

“But literally too! Zahia’s school is a space where everything is possible. Adults make up for institutional ruins, children never cease to amaze us, and the connection between this small world remains. Therefore, it is a yard of miracles. And moreover, every day has one, a miracle, albeit a small one . That’s what we like to emphasize with the parable of the playground, which turns green throughout the film. It pushes the walls, gradually opens the horizon. That and thanks to it, Zahia continues against all odds.”

A social, sunny and modern film (both about education and ecology), which also marks the return of Dizzy to the cinema, seventeen years after the release of In your dreams.
