Behind the Scenes
As the daughter of a Swiss mother and an Egyptian father,
I carry two cultures within me. During my childhood and
teenage years, my oriental roots remained hidden,
and it was only later that I began to explore them.
That was a revelation. My film "Honey and Ashes"
was the first step on a twisting path that brings
me back inexorably to my roots.
