Winner of the award for the best film at the Biografilm Italia Competition, Celles qui restent tells the story of Om El Khir, a Tunisian woman who, together with other women from her country, has been leading a battle since 2012 to find out the truth about all those husbands, sons and brothers who have literally disappeared in their attempts to reach Europe. The “photo-women” – as they have been called for the portraits of their loved ones that they carry during their demonstrations in front of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Italian Embassy in Tunis – continue to meet in front of the seats of power to cry out their anger and pain, claiming they have the right to know what has happened to their relatives: they are convinced that they have succeeded in reaching Lampedusa and are demanding that a board of inquiry be opened to investigate the disappearance of five boats that left Tunis between 2010 and 2012.On board, there were 500 men, of whom nothing more has ever been heard. They include Nabil, Om El Khir’s husband, who left without saying anything to her on 29 March 2011, when she was pregnant with their third child. Despite her grief, the woman has rebuilt her life, finding strength in her determination to give her children a better future.
