Lyna Dubarry

Métèque tells the story of Samia, a young Moroccan banker who lives in London and finds herself threatened to get deported following an administrative oversight. This all triggers her to look for her identity and to unfold her love for her best friend Zoe. Following themes of displacement, she grapples with her identity in a society that no longer wants her, among a group of shifting friends who struggle to understand her experiences and her undeniable desire for a love that she needs but is unable to ask for.

As Lucy grieves the death of her childhood best friend, Mia, she finds herself in a dream where the old friends meet again. Mia challenges Lucy to make a decision in which Lucy must choose to "wake up" or hold on to the dream that she cherishes so dearly.
