When Roya finds a cassette tape her mother buried behind a kitchen cabinet, she knows there must be more.

COMME LA MER
LIKE THE SEA
Narimane Baba Aïssa
DOC, FRA, 80’

“Comme la mer” is an intimate portrait of the friendship trio formed by me, Kenza, and Roza. Scattered between France and Algeria, separated by the waves of the Mediterranean, our lives sway between shores, hopes, and silences. The film intertwines our shared moments with scenes from my travels between Paris, Marseille, Algiers, and Kabylia, mapping our exiles — an archipelago of memories and wounds. A film about sisterhood, women, and resilience.
