Following their mother's death, three Algerian brothers grapple with violence, temptation, and finding their way. One seeks revenge, another struggles to keep a job, and the youngest falls for a capoeira dancer. Can they stay united as a family?
Three Dancing Slaves is a raw, physical drama about three brothers coping with grief, masculinity and desire in very different ways. Gaël Morel gives the film a restless energy, and although the storytelling is fragmented, the performances and bodily intensity make it memorable.
