Jusque dans nos bras
Overview
Intro
A Group Piece About a Misunderstanding
“Friendship is a place of choice, of legend, of anecdotes—a place where we collectively tell our stories, where we can reinvent ourselves.” Céline Sciamma. Alice, the narrator, is half Kabyle, half Norman. On the one hand, we follow her entire school career, marked by events such as 9/11, the Iraq War, and the shock of the 2002 French presidential election—events that make up what she calls “Her Great History of Racism.” On the other hand, Alice, a young adult nearing the end of her studies, is reunited with her best friend from childhood, Mad, who has returned from Mali and can no longer bear having to go through the recurring bureaucratic process of obtaining temporary residence permits, even though he has lived his entire youth in France. Mad and Alice then decide to enter into a marriage of convenience. Because it’s the only thing Alice can do to help her friend, and because it will be the litmus test of her commitment—the final chapter of her adolescence. With both gravity and mischief, *Jusque dans nos bras* turns friendship into a tool of resistance against a patriarchal, capitalist, and exclusionary society. As a collective and as friends, these words by Céline Sciamma speak to us. Yet, even though friendship is often considered secondary or even expendable after adolescence, how can it challenge dominant models by offering new narratives? How can we view our respective youth so that they are inspiring and energizing?
