French footballer Karim Benzema, captain of the Saudi club Al-Ittihad, shone in the spotlight with his appearance on the red carpet at the Cannes International Film Festival last Friday evening, accompanied by French-Algerian star Lyna Khoudri.
Lina Khoudri and Benzema were on the red carpet for the screening of her film "13 Days 13 Nights," directed by Martin Bourboulon. The film sheds light on the evacuation of the French embassy in Kabul in the summer of 2021, coinciding with the Taliban's preparations to retake power.
Lina Khoudri stole the spotlight as the star of this thriller, which is being screened out of competition and will be released in cinemas on June 27.
