Release Date: December 6, 2023 (France) | Length: 105 min | Genre: Drama | MPAA Rating: Unknown | Note(s): Also known as “Bâtiment 5”. Above is the theatrical release date. This film is complete. It will premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2023. I wasn’t able to find a picture for Djénéba Diallo. I found several people with that name and am not sure which one was in this film. I would need to see this film to better identify people. I am having the same problem as I did with Djénéba Diallo. Not sure if Yaya Diaby in this film is the NFL football player. Toufik Ayadi and Ladj Ly are producers on this project.
