A Story in My Skin (2018) is a nuanced documentary that dives deep into the life of Kader Affak, a political activist with a complex past. Kheloufi captures this intimate portrait with a raw sincerity, blending stark visuals that mirror the chiaroscuro of Affak's own experiences. The film unfolds at Le Sous-Marin café, a place of revival, as Affak recounts the poignant memories of his mother's last days, creating a tapestry of loss and resilience. You feel the weight of each moment, every reflection building on the last, and the pacing allows for contemplation.
