May God Be with You

Cleo Cohen's directorial debut is a personal investigation of her own identity as the granddaughter of Jewish Arabs who at some point in the past emigrated from Tunisia and Algeria to France. In an intimate setting, Cohen questions her grandparents in front of the camera about the course their life has taken. Are they more strongly connected with Judaism or with their Arabic background? What do they think about their current home country of France, the former colonial power? Do they feel African or European? And how do they hope to see their descendants forming their own identity?
