Description
Mourad's desire to forge his own path in life is complicated by his family legacy. Born to Algerian parents, he struggles with the weight of tradition and expectation.
When Mourad's father has a stroke, he makes him promise to reconcile with his estranged sister Dounia, a woman who feels constrained by their family's past. Now living in Paris, Mourad must bridge the gap between his family's old ways and his own aspirations.
This poignant coming-of-age story explores the tensions between personal identity and family heritage, as Mourad navigates his relationships with those around him to find a sense of belonging and purpose.
