Oumoun

Oumoun at Fmovies. “Dear grandma, you’ll be surprised to hear my voice in your language…” Those are the first words in a recorded, spoken letter that was never sent, but instead played aloud in real time by the Brussels filmmaker to her elderly grandmother in Mahdia, Tunisia. In the presence of the camera, these lines turn into a voice-over which gradually transforms into a dialogue across languages, cultures, and generations.
