Welcome

A touching thought-provoking, well-acted, 2009 film in which a lonely French swimming coach (Vincent Lindon), who recently divorced his schoolteacher wife (Audrey Dana), befriends a determined, lovesick, 17-year-old Kurdish refugee (Firat Ayverdi) in Calais who desperately wants to reunite with his teenage girlfriend (Derya Ayverdi) in London by traversing the dangerous, jellyfish-infested, ice cold waters of the English Channel.
