Star-crossed lovers from warring suburbs make TWO babies and zero good decisions.
Deborah and Rachid both grew up in a Lyon suburb where everyone knows each other. Their respective religions and cultures weigh on them and forbid their budding love. Two religions that all seem to oppose but ultimately not so different from each other. Braving family and religious prohibitions, they meet again on the evening of a starry night. Treason? The line has been crossed ... from this night of love two twins came into the world.
Acting
Dual casting for leads adds weirdly effective time-jump disorientation.
Writing
Somehow makes religious conflict feel both specific and universally suburban.
Director
Patrick Attali
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Directors Patrick Attali and Thibaut Miche shot this in their actual Lyon suburb, casting some locals in small roles.
The title 'Compatible' is deeply ironic — their religions aren't, their families aren't, but their fertility absolutely is.
