If fog had roots

Dounia Bovet-Wolteche & 53' — 2009

Ali is dying in a hospital in Paris and Axelle is next to him. In 1954, Ali was condemned to death by the French because of his fight for Algeria’s independence. In 1962, Axelle who just arrived from France, met him in Algiers in the context of the euphoria of the independence. After Ali’s death, Axelle goes back to the Algerian villahe where Ali’s wie still lives. There, faced to the signs of their common past, she listens to the echoing promises around her. If fog had roots is a Super-8 black and white film told in tree voices (Axelle, Ali and Dounia, the director).
