An evocative documentary offering a engrossing exploration of memory, history, and identity. Set against the backdrop of Morocco's tumultuous 1980s, particularly the Bread Riots and Years of Lead.
The film uses a creative blend of interviews, miniature recreations, and doll-like figures to tell the story of El Moudir's own family. Through this innovative narrative approach, El Moudir interrogates the absence of her childhood photographs and uncovers layers of generational trauma and silence that have enveloped her family. By reconstructing her family's past within a meticulously crafted scale model of her neighbourhood, El Moudir not only brings a forgotten history to life but also prompts a reevaluation of how stories are told and remembered.
