Introduction

Eya loves rap music, football and her older brother Younès. When he suddenly dies, Eya’s world collapses. Navigating the family mourning rituals and life with Younès’ friends, Eya seeks her own way to deal with loss. Drawing on personal experience, Zellama offers a refreshing portrait of cultural identity and grief, where love and solitude lie at the heart of healing.
