English Title: Life After Siham

Namir et sa mère s’étaient jurés de refaire un film ensemble, mais la mort de Siham vient briser cette promesse. Pour tenir parole, Namir plonge dans l’histoire romanesque de sa famille. Cette enquête faite de souvenirs intimes et de grands films égyptiens se transforme en un récit de transmission joyeux et lumineux, prouvant que l’amour ne meurt jamais.

When Siham passed away, Namir didn’t realize that she was gone forever. In a child’s mind, mothers are immortal… To keep her memory alive, Namir delves into his family history across Egypt and France. With the cinema of Youssef Chahine as his companion, a story of exile — and above all, of love — begins to unfold.
