Snow Hides the Shade of Fig Trees

2009 · 21m · Drama

It is through the voice of Salim, newly arrived in Canada, that we follow the journey of six immigrants who, cramped in a van, earn their living by distributing advertising leaflets. Despite their diverse origins, they share the same nostalgia for their native land and the same daily worries, which they approach with scathing humor. Among them is a young boy of Russian origin, Sacha. The biting cold and the endless stairs will get the better of his tenacity. However, Sacha will come to surprisingly break the routine of Salim and his companions...
