莉瑪是一名正值花樣年華、纖細活潑的十六歲少女，從小在加拿大長大，她在成長過程中，唯一的親人是加拿大裔的白人母親。莉瑪的父親是伊拉克人，十六年來不曾見過女兒，如今亟欲和女兒見上一面，同享天倫。於是莉瑪踏上旅途，前往約旦，和父親生活了兩個月。本片導演 Paul Émile d'Entremont 以莉瑪的角度，看視青少年經常遭遇的矛盾與衝突。莉瑪結束探父之旅，回到加拿大新斯科細亞省之後，體悟到她這一輩子都將擁有雙重的身分認同。這既是包袱，也是寶藏。本片細膩呈現了一般青少年與一般成人所時常面對的身分認同問題。 With a Canadian mother, who until recently was the only family she knew, and an Iraqi father who wants to get to know his daughter after a 16-year absence, young Reema is confronted with difficult questions about her identity. During Reema's two-month visit with her father in Jordan, director Paul Émile d'Entremont adopts the point of view of this sensitive and lively young girl who exhibits all the contradictions typical of someone her age.When Reema returns home to Nova Scotia after a visit with her father, she realizes that she will always have a double identity, and that it is both a burden and a treasure. Reema, There and Back gives us an up-close look at the constant struggle inherent to both adolescents and people in general - whether they are from Iraq or Canada. In French and English with subtitles. |
