father and son
How can we find ourselves again, when the vagaries of life have separated father and son, and created an abyss between them from early childhood? Nathan was placed very early by his mother in a foster family where he found the warmth of a home and a quality of life that she was hard pressed to give him. Arriving at the dawn of his majority, he feels the need to meet this absent father, who never showed up (or so he was made to believe) and whom he ended up deeply hating and giving back. responsible for all his ills. This father, Romain, a famous photographer admired worldwide for his spectacular photos from the four corners of the world, he will see him during the screening in Cannes, at the closing of the festival, of a documentary devoted to his work. Their meeting will be a shock for these two beings who are separated by everything, but a joint adventure, in the fjords of western Iceland, will constitute a real rebirth for the son as much as for the father. Ismael Khelifa has written a deeply moving novel, a novel of both interior and exterior adventure, with unfussy writing, knowing how to get to the point in few but well-chosen words. A feel-good novel, showing that with a little good will nothing is ever lost as long as you agree to question yourself.
