About
"The theme of the film is guilt, or how a man confronted with his own guilt manages to free himself from it and become someone who acts instead of someone who submits. It just so happens that this character is a French person of North African origin. In this way, "Bye-Bye" sets itself apart from traditional French cinema. In general, the image of the Arab often has a negative aspect. At best, he is a victim and is looked on with pity and paternalism. I believe in the richness of the melting-pot and sincerely think that our country has everything to gain from learning how to use differences as a bonus and not as a handicap. "Bye-Bye" means saying good-bye to things that are too heavy to carry. I think that one should always keep heading forward while holding one's head high. Mourning does not necessarily mean forgetting."
(Karim Dridi)
