“With Les déterrées, Katia Belkhodja provides us with a bountiful fresco—a titan of a story—full of life, light and humour that exhumes stories and histories alike, lest they be forgotten. Throughout a dishevelled and deconstructed family portrait covering several generations, we meet ever-endearing characters on a long journey—from Lalla Fatma N’Soumer’s Algeria to Réjean Ducharme’s Quebec.”
