Zaineb Hates the Snow

2009. Zaineb, a nine-year-old Tunisian girl, has lost her father. Her mother tries to rebuild her life with another man in Canada. Zaineb has been told that when she gets there she will be able to see the snow at last! But in fact she wants nothing to do with this new man or his country, because she has decided to hate the snow. Following the life of this charismatic young Tunisian and her itinerant family over a five-year period, Zaineb takrahou ethelj is shot as a captivating and moving coming-of-age documentary told through the sharp eyes of a young migrant.
