Thirty years old, overweight, no job, no husband, and still living at home\u2026 In France, they call Fara a \u201cTanguy\u201c. In Italy, she\u2019d be a\u00a0bamboccioni. In her French-Algerian family, she\u2019s a\u00a0miskina, the object of pity and scorn. Yet, she\u2019s the resourceful one, the one everyone relies on to solve all their problems. But what about her problems ? Fara misses her estranged father; she dreams of turning his rusty old van into a food truck and hitting the road.\u00a0 On top of that \u2014 or maybe at the bottom of it \u2014 Fara can\u2019t seem to admit that she\u2019s in love with her childhood best friend, Nassim\u2026 who\u2019s now smitten with her cousin. A deadpan sit-com romp, immersed in the colorful world of Algerian immigrant culture in France,\u00a0Miskina\u00a0also offers an unflinching glimpse into the psyche of a young woman who is paralyzed, projecting societal standards onto herself and deeming herself unworthy of the happiness and love that only seem to be available to others.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
