Festival history

Nine-year-old Zaineb lives with her mother and little brother in a small house in the suburbs of Tunis in Tunisia. Her father died in a car accident. Her mother is about to rebuild her life with the man she was in love with before marrying Zaineb’s father. This man lives in Canada. Zaineb is told that over there she will finally see snow! But she wants nothing to do with either this new man or his country. Because you see, Zaineb has decided that she hates the snow.
