Ramsès earns his living as a fortune teller – a charismatic con artist with a keen sense of people's desires. In the Parisian district of La Goutte d'Or, he has built a comfortable life for himself with staged visions. But when a group of fearless teenagers shows up and takes control of the streets, his system is thrown off balance. Amidst mistrust, violence, and growing uncertainty, Ramsès, of all people, is confronted with a genuine, shattering vision.

SONS OF RAMSES (original title: GOUTTE D'OR) is a darkly poetic urban drama with thriller elements that brings to life the fragile balance of a social microcosm. Director Clément Cogitore, known for The Wakhan Front, uses his clear style and atmospheric density to tell a story about power, origins, and spiritual borderline experiences. Between crime and faith, trickery and truth, a portrait is drawn of a man who suddenly can no longer control what he has unleashed.

The film premiered in 2022 at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes and captivates with its haunting imagery, powerful portrayal of its milieu, and the physically intense performance of Karim Leklou. SONS OF RAMSES is an intense drama about responsibility, vulnerability, and the ghosts we summon—full of contradiction, tension, and humanity.
