Yamakasi, directed by Ariel Zeitoun and Julien Seri, follows a group of seven young men from the Paris suburbs, masters of urban movement who defy gravity with instinctive precision. Together, they embark on an unlikely mission to save a child suffering from a severe heart condition.

The film’s visual world blends raw energy with a distinctly urban aesthetic: leaps between rooftops, natural light cutting through stairwells, the rough texture of concrete façades and the long shadows of tower blocks set a pace that is both relentless and unexpectedly gentle in certain moments. Image post-production plays a central role here refined grain, strengthened contrasts, and fluid camera motion to capture speed and tension. The frame becomes a playground of its own, every angle carrying the sensation of a jump, a flight, an impact.
