The road, the house, the key, the animals, Bamssi. Images with the urgency of an Instagram story create a dialogue within the family across the sea: Mourad and Fairuz, in Tunisia and abroad. To see anything of the surroundings, you have to go to the roof: the railway behind the house. Away from the house, away from home. Street dogs and cats in front of the house. Without a house, without a home. The sound of the train evokes a sense of longing. The image of the sea stirs up a dangerous desire. To stay. To dream. Time passes both slowly and quickly when the prospect of a new life disrupts the routine.
