What happens

Where Atilla Passes (French: Là où Atilla passe) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Onur Karaman and released in 2015. The film stars Émile Schneider as Atilla, the Turkish-born adopted son of Québécois couple Michel (Roy Dupuis) and Julie (Julie Deslauriers). Suffering from social anxiety and haunted by a vague inchoate memory of the family tragedy that led to his adoption, he is slowly drawn out of his shell by his interactions with Ahmet (Cansel Elçin), his new Turkish immigrant coworker, and Asya (Dilan Gwyn), a young woman with whom he begins a new romantic relationship. The film premiered in November 2015 at the Festival du cinéma international en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, before going into general theatrical release in early 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
