French director Jacques Audiard (R) introduces Sri Lankan actor Jesuthasan Antonythasan to the audience after he was awarded with the Palme d'Or for his film "Dheepan" during the closing ceremony of the 68th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southeastern France, on May 24, 2015.

Faux Pas, a 12-minute film, did not reveal the faces of the actors, except for their legs. In one of the rooms at the Bibliothèque Nationale du Royaume du Maroc, Rabat, I stared at the screen in awe.

One night, in this film, a pair of men’s legs staggered until they arrived at the door of their apartment. After the door opened, the feet stepped onto the sofa, and the leg’s owner slowly took off his shoes. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. The phone rang and the tap was dripping. Bare feet tiptoed to the pile of books, then moved to the fireplace. Books were burned. In the same apartment building, a pair of women's legs were dragged between the legs of men, the secret police.
