My Motherland
The celebrated actress Fanny Ardant plays the role of France, a wealthy Frenchwoman living alone in her Parisian apartment since the death of her husband. When she hears on the radio that the Singa association puts homeless migrants in contact with people who can take them in, she decides, against the advice of her friends and family, to take in Reza, a young Hazara Afghan refugee. Directed by Benoit Cohen, My Motherland is based on his own book, Mohammad, My Mother, and Me, which is based on his mother's experience welcoming a young Afghan refugee. This deeply personal film beautifully captures the complexities of navigating identity and belonging.
