Torn between a yearning for emancipation and the comfort that her mother Irène insists upon offering her, Natacha feels trapped. Meeting Walid, who is waiting until he has raised sufficient funds to pay his passage to England, will open up her eyes to new horizons and help her take steps towards a new life...

Le Prix du passage is produced by Miléna Poylo and Gilles Sacuto on behalf of TS Productions (with Constance Penchenat acting as associate producer) and is co-produced by Belgian group Artémis Productions.

Distribution in France will be managed by Diaphana whilst international sales will be steered by Be For Films.
