I filmed this road step by step, this painful face to face with this country, these people, this family so close and so far away. It is by trying to look at what was foreign to me as if it were familiar to me and what was familiar to me as if it were foreign to me that I was able to hold and hold the frame. There, I experienced a terrible violence, when you understand nothing, when you can say nothing. Where I was born, in France, is also where my father silenced his mother tongue: Arabic. This language that I do not speak since my father did not give it to me. This word killed by the dead was a quest, a journey, a pilgrimage or simply the work of mourning.
