NAR’HI NAN was born from my deep desire to find a way to connect. For several months, I lived with a group of teenagers at a cooking school in the Pyrenees, teenagers who carried stories of failure, abandonment, adoption, migration, violence, and grief. In this seemingly everyday space—between stoves, routines, and learning—I witnessed how, step by step, they built a way of being in the world.
This film is a coming-of-age ensemble, where the language of food becomes a refuge, a shared memory, and a way of narrating when words fail. It is also my own attempt to name what I don’t yet know how to say, to forge connections through listening, presence, and care.
