A century separates the first images of the film, Tunisians immigrants arriving by small boat in Sicily in 2002; and the story of a typical Sicilian family, my own, which emigrated in a small boat from Sicily to Tunisia in 1902. This story of repeated emigrations spans the 20th century, between Sicily, Tunisia, and France; the settlement of the family in Tunisia, at the time a French protectorate; -the two world wars of 1915 and 1939; the reign of Fascism; and Tunisian Independence, which signalled the departure of the family for France. In the film each generation is represented by one person, introduced at the moment of a capital decision for his future, who confides his fears, describes his challenges and his reactions, and fights to keep alive his hopes. These hopes of emigrants, silent and fragile, which I know from personal experiences, I bequeath to this film.

Summary for official catalogues

Ce documentaire suit le parcours de gens anonymes qui ont fait l'histoire, qui sont l'Histoire. Il s'attache à leur mémoire, à la transmission personnelle de leurs histoires, pour raconter autrement le XXème siècle, en approchant au plus près l'intimité de ces vies particulières et atteindre ainsi une histoire universelle et intemporelle.
