Il est présenté en section Un certain regard au Festival de Cannes 2017.
Synopsis
L'installation d'ouvriers "détachés" allemands sur un chantier situé aux confins de la Bulgarie et de la Grèce. La plupart d'entre eux évitent les contacts avec la population locale. Seuls, Meinhard et son contremaître Vincent tentent de briser le silence. Le fossé entre les groupes n'est pas uniquement linguistique ou culturel, il reflète aussi les disparités socio-économiques d'une Europe encore inégalitaire.Comments

La Cérémonie tells the story of a young woman, Sophie Bonhomme (Sandrine Bonnaire), who is hired as a maid by the Lelièvre family. The Lelièvres live in an isolated mansion in Brittany. The family consists of four members: Catherine (Jacqueline Bisset) and Georges, the parents, who have no children together, but one each from previous marriages. Gilles is Catherine's and her ex-husband's son. He is a lonely teenager who loves reading and has a passion for arts in general. Melinda is Georges' and his late wife's daughter. She studies at a university and only spends the weekends at home, where she invites her boyfriend Jérémie. The household chores are excessive for Catherine – who owns her own art gallery – so she requires a maid's help and hires Sophie. Throughout the film Sophie avoids using the dishwasher, refuses to take driving lessons, buys fake eyeglasses, and has trouble giving a cashier the correct change. The viewer finds out later that Sophie is illiterate and has a history of violence since she is believed to have killed her handicapped father, or at least not to have rescued him from the fire she might have set in his house.
