Farida runs a three-star hotel in Nîmes. For the past year, she has been receiving a singular clientele. Homeless people, migrants, women victims of violence, have found shelter there during the health crisis.

What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside.

The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
This short film was an overall creative success.
