Through its simplicity and heart, Paris la Blanche tackles the issue of immigration through a personal life story. At the age of 70, Rekia decides to leave her village in Algeria to travel to Paris to find her husband, Nour. He was one of the many people who immigrated to France as a “financial migrant” in the 1970s. For four decades he has been away, working in Paris to support his family in Algeria. By herself, Rekia travels across the Mediterranean sea to bring him back home. From the port of Algiers to the streets of Paris, with nothing more than a hotel address on a piece of paper, but with the help of new, unlikely friends, she finally finds Nour. But her hero, the war veteran, the one that has been providing for his family from abroad for the past 40 years, has become a stranger.
