Mon Père

Suitable from age 15. Duration: 1h15 An intimate and striking story in which humour and emotion upend received ideas about identity, parent-child ties and clichés.

Linda Chaïb recounts her father, an immigrant to France, a manual worker and a victim of asbestos exposure. She takes the floor after his death, as a belated but vital need to tell his story. Between humour and bewilderment, she offers a journey into the heart of the relationship between a child and her father. Through memories, things left unsaid and moments of tenderness, she questions identity, origins and the weight of clichés. The narrative gradually reveals the complexity of family ties and the way society looks at them, offering a sincere and deeply human voice. Kheireddine Lardjam Linda Chaïb
