Haunted houses aren’t always in Scotland, topped with creaky weathervanes blowing in the wild wind, at the edge of a black loch full of strange and unknown monsters! They are everywhere, maybe right next to us. Nadir goes around his haunted house, its history, its fears, its complexes, its ghosts and fantasies, close to his forties. Following his divorce, he decided to get closer to his family to find a bit of peace. Many things have changed around him, the neighbourhood has become impoverished, some have become radicalised, the population has changed. He finds himself engulfed in a parallel world, a fantasy world, with a family left to itself and a father on the verge of death. This dreamlike dive takes us on a journey through a reality that is nevertheless the daily life of these families of foreign origin, families who became French for long-forgotten reasons.

The author and director, Nasser Djemaï, associate artist at the MC2 Grenoble, penned the third instalment of a saga about identity-building. Through this funny and cruel tale, he invites us to reconcile with complexity, to dive into the life of this family orphaned by his own history. This family does not want to explain anything to us. It just wants to continue on this quest for meaning, this quest for oneself, in an ever-changing world. For them, it is now about questioning their heritage, perhaps to reinvent a new era, a new world, and without a doubt a new religion?
