Nasser, a 30 something Parisian with a troubled past, just got home after some jail time. Margot, his probation officer, urges him to work at "Le Prestige", his brother’s bar located right next to the Moulin Rouge, in the heart of Pigalle - one of Paris’ most diverse and rawest neighborhoods. But deep wounds between the two brothers make this collaboration difficult from the start. Even more so when Nasser decides to get back in the game by throwing exclusive parties against his brother’s will. With its improvisational, documentary-style camera work and an outstanding performance by Reda Kateb, PARIS PRESTIGE offers a fresh take on the classic conflict between a law-abiding citizen and a criminal. Directors Hamé Bourokba and Ekoué Labitey, both rappers from the group "La Rumeur", paint a vivid picture of the half-touristic, half-red-light district of Pigalle, where the struggle for survival is an everyday reality.
A powerful tale of two brothers at odds in Pigalle, Paris directed by the two French rappers Hamé and Ékoué.
