When Ahleme's mother was killed in a village massacre, she left
Algeria for France with her father and brother and never returned.
Now, more than a decade later, she is practically French, yet in
many ways she remains an outsider. Her dreams for a better life
have been displaced by the harsh realities she faces every day. Her
father is unable to work after an accident at his construction
site. Her brother boils over with adolescent energy and teeters
dangerously close to choosing a life of crime. And as a temporary
resident, Ahleme could at any moment be sent back to a village and
a life that are now more foreign than Paris.
In "Some Dream for Fools," Faiza Guene explores the disparity
between the expectations and limitations of immigrant life in the
West and tells a remarkable story of one woman's courage to
dream.
