Life After Siham
La Vie après Siham
Namir Abdel Messeeh
When Siham passed away, Namir didn’t realize that she was gone forever. In a child’s mind, mothers are immortal… To keep her memory alive, Namir delves into his family history across Egypt and France. With the cinema of Youssef Chahine as his companion, a story of exile — and above all, of love — begins to unfold.

Namir Abdel Messeeh spent his early years in Egypt before moving to France, where he studied directing at La Fémis. He directed several short films before tackling more personal subjects with Toi, Waguih. His first feature film, La Vierge, les Coptes et moi, selected for numerous festivals including Cannes, Berlin and CPH:DOX, humorously explores his relationship with his homeland and his Coptic family. La Vie après Siham is his second feature.
