What Is Adieu About?

The premise of Adieu without spoilers.

Fleeing danger in Algeria, Ismahel arrives in France, hoping his pursuers will forget him while he seeks work. In letters to his daughter left behind, he frames his story with the biblical tale of Jonah and the Whale. Simultaneously, a farmer mourns his young son; his three children try to cope, but the funeral stops when the father falls ill. The two narratives run parallel, exploring loss and exile.
