UNTIL HE’S BACK

Director & Producer: Jacqueline Baylon,

After learning that his son, Yahya, has died at sea trying to get to Spain, Ahmed Tchiche must find a way to bring his remains back home to Morocco so he and his family can have a proper goodbye. Through interweaving threads, UNTIL HE’S BACK explores a dangerous journey across the Mediterranean and the difficulty of returning the bodies of those who drown at sea.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
