Sang et Miel
The right choice yet still leads you to guilt.During the celebration of a major Muslim holiday, the sick father returns home after a long absence due to health problems. His youngest son is waiting for him, but he is very angry. They have a long conversation that brings to light all their repressed and long accumulated conflicts. Finally, the circumstances offered by the father's return from the hospital allow this intense confrontation that has always been postponed.
