Rym spends her early childhood with her cousins in Algeria. Exiled to Quebec after the civil war, they grow up in the shadow of four generations marked by colonization, resistance and uprooting. Rym tells the family epic the way she learned to make tea, without ever washing the teapot, setting down the weight of history. In short chapters mixing irony, humour and drama, the story unearths names and stories that others tried to erase, above all those of silenced women, in a story of transmission, resistance and pride.
