Les miens (2022)

Moussa (Sami Bouajila) is a gentle, kind man, a devoted father and employee. Divorced, he has remarried a Moroccan woman who no longer answers his phone calls. So he empties his closets of her belongings and considers getting rid of them. His brother Ryad (Roschdy Zem) hosts a television show about football. His family reproaches him for his self-centeredness. One evening, while celebrating a colleague’s birthday, Moussa falls and hits his head hard. The doctors diagnose a head injury. His personality then changes completely. He harshly criticizes his devoted sister Samia, who is constantly called upon by those around her but can sometimes be a little overbearing. He also falls out with his daughter Nesrine, whose studies in Canada he considers too expensive, and with his son Amir, whom he thinks is addicted to video games. He gets angry with Samia and his brother Salah, who have donated his Moroccan wife’s clothes to a charity, even though he had initially agreed to it. His outbursts sow discord within the family, especially since Ryad sides with Moussa. Ryad takes advantage of a work trip to bring Moussa to Normandy for a few days. Moussa’s condition improves; he accepts that his Moroccan marriage has failed and obtains a divorce. The family gradually finds a new balance.
