In the 1960s, Abdelkader, known as Kaddour, left Tunisia on a scholarship to study in France—a promising young man full of ambition. He wrote regularly to his family, but one day, the letters stopped. A decade later, they discovered he had been living in a psychiatric hospital in Paris. Repatriated to Tunisia, Kaddour’s mental health continued to decline, and his life spiralled further into despair. Amid his struggles, Kaddour claimed he had a wife and child in France—a story dismissed as delusion, yet marked by unsettling details that lingered in family memory. As those details are recalled, a question emerges: what if Kaddour’s words were true? In 2014, Kaddour passed away with no wife or children by his side. The filmmaker embarks on a deeply personal investigation into her great-uncle’s disappearance. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 22, she confronts her own fears of inheriting a “mental health curse” while piecing together the lost decade of Kaddour’s life. Through his story and her own, she uncovers hidden truths across Tunisia and France, shedding light on the weight of exile, the scars of displacement, and the cultural taboos that silence mental health struggles—reclaiming both her great-uncle’s voice and her own.
