Namir Abdel Messeeh

When Siham passed away, Namir didn’t realize that she was gone forever. In a child’s mind, mothers are immortal… To keep her memory alive, Namir delves into his family history across Egypt and France. With the cinema of Youssef Chahine as his companion, a story of exile — and above all, of love — begins to unfold.

Balthazar's grandfather has just died. He does not understand the sadness of his parents as, being very religious, he believes that his grandfather will go to heaven and there is therefore no reason to be sad..

After seeing a grainy video of what is supposed to be an apparition of the Virgin Mary, Abdel Messeh sets out to make a documentary about belief, family and religion, much to the disapproval of his mother.
