Description
Ahmed is five years old when he leaves his native village of Douar M’Layna, Morocco with his mother and brothers to join his father in France in hope of a better future. The only Moroccan family settled in the rural village of Bazens, in Southwest France, they all have to adjust to this new world full of obstacles, but also, as they will learn with time, full of possibilities. They cling to what they know—their culture, language and religion—hoping to return to their village once they have enough money to build a house. But the children adapt eventually, especially Ahmed who learns about the new culture thanks to movies. Before anyone, he understands he has acquired a new identity despite his resistance. In Quelqu’un qui vous ressemble, Dich aligns wit, eloquence, perceptive observation, and even humor, with beautiful style and endearing characters.
