Dehbia is 41 years old. She is the second child of a family of fifteen children. When she arrived in France in 1963, she found accommodation in a housing development in Colmar, in France’s Alsace region, and have lived there ever since. She is proud of the dual culture she inherited from her Kabyle father who was brought up by the White Fathers. Far from the violent and sensationalist stories that hit the news headlines, Chloé Hunzinger will attempt to give individuals within a family of immigrants a chance to speak up and communicate their personal experiences. This film shows how Debia, Fatima, Khalid, Jaffar and Rabah, each in their own way, managed to confront feelings of being constantly torn in half. It also portrays their struggle which, in itself, is a demonstration of freedom.
