Wahid Haydar and his daughter Soufiya return to Tunisia after a long stay in West Africa. Not having seen her French mother since her parents separated ten years ago, Soufiya arrives in Tunisia proud of her African heritage. Her father is disappointed to find that the country has changed a lot since they left. Tunisia still has yet to overcome its old prejudices about blacks and white people. As her father struggles to adjust to modern day Tunisia, his daughter tries to bring him and her mother back together whilst asserting her own identity.© James Travers
