Description
For a long time, the Algeria from which his family comes from was only a backdrop for Naïma without much interest. However, in a French society crossed by questions of identity, everything seems to want to send her back to her origins. But what connection could she have with a family history that has never been told to her? Her grandfather Ali, a Kabyle mountaineer, died before she could ask him why history had made him a "harki". Yema, his grandmother, might be able to answer, but not in a language that Naïma understand. As for Hamid, his father, who arrived in France in the summer of 1962 in the hastily set up transit camps, he no longer speaks of the Algeria of his childhood.
How do you bring back a land of silence?
