La vie devant elle
By Manon Loizeau & Elaha Iqbali
La vie devant elle is the diary of the exile of Elaha, a 14 year old Afghan girl, who films herself with a small camera to tell her story. Through her story, the film portrays the reality of children growing up on the road, tossed from place to place to flee conflicts in the hope of finding a normal life. Directed by Manon Loizeau, who followed Elaha and her family for over a year, the film invites us to reflect on the fate of all children thrown onto the roads of exile. It depicts the wandering, the solitude, the physical and mental fatigue, but also the incredible resilience of childhood. This road movie is accompanied by the musical compositions of Emily Loizeau.
