Mitterand Is Dead (Mitterrand est Mort)
by Hedi Sassi. Tunisia/France, 2003, Lucy, a young French woman who works as a home healthcare nurse, is assigned to the care of a retired Tunisian immigrant with failing health. They are confronted with having to negotiate profound cultural differences and world views, but their relationship eventually develops into complicity and empathy. An intelligent and tender tale on the much debated theme of integration of immigrants in France where neither protagonist is granted a privileged position. In French with English subtitles.
