Their Algeria

Production year: 2020
Country: Algeria
Director: Lina Soualem
Producer: Marie Balducchi

After 62 years of marriage, the French-Algerian couple Aïcha and Mabrouk decide to separate. They exchange their old family home for two adjacent apartments—because of course Aïcha still takes her ex-husband food every day. She wants to enjoy the time she has left, she explains at her kitchen table in the few moments that she isn’t laughing shyly. Her granddaughter Lina is baffled by the separation, and in this film she goes in search of answers.
