LEUR ALGÉRIE
LEUR
ALGÉRIE
CINEMANIA’s
opinion:
Lina
Soualem
aims
her
camera
with
sensitivity
at
her
grandparents
Aicha
and
Mabrouk,
Algerian
immigrants
who
have
spent
their
adult
life
in
France.
In
filming
their
recent
separation,
Soualem
quickly
realizes
that
another
tale
seeks
to
be
told,
that
of
the
still
painful
scars
left
on
a
generation
of
exiles
by
the
French
colonization.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
the
young
documentary
filmmaker
to
question
herself
on
her
identity
and
to
go
back
over
the
history
of
her
family,
while
at
the
same
time
offering
us
a
portrait
full
of
love
for
her
grandmother
Aicha,
an
exceptional
woman
whose
laughter
sometimes
mixed
with
tears
succeeds
in
telling
it
all
about
a
rather
complex
experience.

After 62 years of marriage, Lina’s grandparents, Aicha and Mabrouk, have decided to
separate. Together, they had come from Algeria to France more than 60 years ago.
Side by side, they traversed the chaotic life of immigrants. For Lina, their separation is
the opportunity to question their long journey of exile as well as their silence.
