Lydia

WORLD PREMIERE
France, Algeria / 2016 / Arabic dialogue with English subtitles / 12 min

Lydia is a young Berber Algerian that has settled down in the south of France. She’s spending her days at home waiting for her domineering partner to come home. The solitude and the cultural distance between Lydia and her surroundings becomes more significantly, and soon she realizes that France isn’t the dream land she imagined.
