After years in Paris, Lilia returns to Tunisia for her uncle's funeral and finds herself drawn back into a family shaped by silence, omission and unresolved histories. As old friends reappear and long-buried tensions surface, the circumstances surrounding her uncle's sudden death begin to take on new significance. Concealing her relationship from relatives who know little of her life abroad, Lilia navigates a house inhabited by three generations of women while piecing together a story that mirrors her own. Blending family drama with the structure of a quiet detective story, Leyla Bouzid crafts a tender and nuanced exploration of desire, memory and the things left unsaid.
