“La carričre Fontblanche” is one of the last slums of France bordering Cassis (France). A village with no name, no children or women, which houses Tunisians came in the 1970s, contract in hand to build the villas of the seaside town. In October 2005, the village improvised and unsafe where they live for 35 years was destroyed, to be replaced by a social residence. The documentary tells Sonia Kichah memory and individual stories of some of these men. Men weakened by years of exile, sacrifice, selflessness of their lives to support their families back home. Amid this pile of wealth hut, life is pace around the social and cultural landmarks rebuilt in the same village. The prospect of new habitat for them is a second uprooting. A diffuse violence, which undermines the glue that keeps standing and highlights the ambivalence of relocation, rebuilding a new life.
Sonia Kichah studied in Paris and obtained in 1998, a DEA in cinema at the Sorbonne, Paris. After having been an assistant to the production of “ Frantz Pennon” by Cheick Djemai, in 2002 behind the camera, she makes her first short film “Green light”. Then, she again assists Cheick Djemai in 2002 with the “the Found Memory”. She produced her first documentary “Identities veiled” in 2005. In 2007, she obtained a grant from the Francophonie for the production of a short film, “The Widow, The Aunt and The Child”. She will produce in 2008 her second documentary “Forgotten Blackcurrant”.
