While discriminatory policies and stigmatization against Roma have increased in recent years, here is the fight, filmed in a novel way for 15 years, of a Romani woman from Romania, seeking at all costs to to integrate in France.

A visually striking meditation on loss and a perceptive political critique, this deeply personal work has two subjects: filmmaker Olga Nakkas' ailing mother and the chaotic country where Nakkas was raised. Both fell sick in 1975, the onset of incurable depression for one and a bloody civil war ushering in deep divisions for the other. In this sequel to LEBANON: BITS AND PIECES (1994), Nakkas ponders the plight of the country she clearly loves while honoring the mother dear to her.
