Our take
In this shimmering portrait of a diaspora, ghosts dwell among the living and their stories rustle in the leaves. Adding fantastical touches to first-hand accounts of migration and life in a banlieue, Dania Reymond-Boughenou amplifies the voices of a Franco-Algerian community in this polyphonic film.
