“An intimate, complex, painful, touching direction of a private drama which, however, knows how to be universal … Very few recent films have spoken of pain and loss with such truth and strength. It is a film not to be missed.” 
—Esquire 

The meaning of “love of country” is explored in-depth in this modern, expansive story of a bi-cultural French family grappling with their son’s military death. Ismael and Aissa are brothers who emigrated from Algeria to France as children. As their lives take starkly different paths in France and beyond, each reckons with their debt to family and to country. Based on Rachid Hami’s personal story and memories of his late brother. Writer-director Rachid Hami joins us in person for the screening and Q&A.

This film is part of Young French Cinema, a program of Unifrance and Villa Albertine.
