Scenes from the everyday lives and entangled fates of various residents of the Goutte d'Or neighborhood in Paris, who struggle with unemployment, contempt, indifference, and racism. In response to the racist murder of a teenager in the neighborhood, Ktari wanted to make a film with mass appeal to spark a debate. The film’s broadcast on French television in 1977 provoked many reactions—many empathetic but also many racist reactions. Les Ambassadeurs won the Tanit d'Or at the Carthage Film Festival in 1976 and was shown at the Tashkent Film Festival in 1976.
