A Way Home

After years of separation, the filmmaker rekindles her relationship with her mother, Aïcha, now suffering from Alzheimer’s. From Brussels to Tangiers, the odyssey of a family marked by exile is evoked through discretion, confession, pain, separation, grief, and joy.

Screened in partnership with Aflam, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the festival - Edition 2021

For more than twenty years, The Aflam Association, based in Marseille, has been presenting programs aiming to highlight all forms of cinematographic productions of Arab countries. Ten years ago, the Aflam Festival, co-produced by the MUCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations) was born and has been held there every year since then, as well as in different places in the city. The audience is set to discover a selection of recent films, rarely shown in movie theatres, or older films that marked the history of cinema in Arab countries, and can discuss with the directors invited to talk about their work. In celebration of its tenth anniversary, Aflam & Aflamuna present a retrospective of ten years of Aflam festival, showing a film featured from each of the editions, each month.
