Perdus entre deux rives, les Chibanis oubliés

Their names are Abdallah, Ahmou, Mohamed, Ramdane, Salah, Sebti, Tahar. They came from Algeria, between 1951 and 1971, alone, to work in France. They planned, one day, to return to the Country. Years have passed, they are now retired. They are still there. They migrated from one shore to the other of the Mediterranean without really measuring the rupture that this would cause. Not completely from here, not really from there anymore, after a disjointed professional life, a torn family life, they come to end their old days in Marseille, alone. From here, the native country is not far, the nostalgia disappears little by little. Through their testimonies, we understand why "the return to Bled" could not take place as they had initially planned. Filmed with gentleness and tenderness, these Chibanis are both luminous and beautiful, funny and endearing.
