Using His Own Autobiographical Book With The Same Title As The Source, Alexandre Arcady Intertwines Both Past And Present In This Highly Original Masterpiece. After A Long Absence, Fictional Filmmaker Antoine Lisner Returns To His Childhood Home In Algeria To Screen His Film About His Life Before The War, Which Forced Him To Flee France With His Family At 13. Accompanying Lisner Is His 13-Year-Old Son, Who Serves As A Witness To His Father’s Conflicted Memories. Meanwhile, We Also See This Very Childhood Being Played Out—In His Memory Or Perhaps In His Film. Arcady Employs This Fictionalized Version Of Very Personal Events To Recreate His Childhood With Gentle Humor And Abundant Grace While Reaching For A Deeper And More Complex Truth.
