About the film

"Romain Gavras turned YouTube upside down with his hard-boiled and
controversial music video for M.I.A.'s 'Born Free', where a fascist
government detains the red-haired in concentration camps, and thereby
indirectly creates a guerilla army of terrorists/freedom fighters,
dressed in strawberry helmets and ammunition belts. 'Our Day Will Come'
is a kind of feature film sequel, though now with humour. The red-haired
teenage thug Remy lives in a terraced house and spends his days
fighting with his mother, his sister and the local hooligans. One day,
Remy meets the charismatic psychologist/psychopath, Patrick (Vincent
Cassel), who decides to systematically test his young prodigy's limits.
Soon, the two of them establish a 'red front' in a revolutionary
struggle for recognition, and for an independent state in the holy land
of red-heads: Ireland. A hopeless escape from a more or less imagined
enemy, leaving a trail of minor destruction and bizarre behaviour behind
them. The clash of civilisations is just around the corner in Gavras's
witty and provo-cynical allegory of everyone's struggle against
everyone, in an age where the majority is a minority, and it is cool to
stand out."
