In an ideal world, love defines our relationships with friends and family members. But love often comes to us in unexpected moments and forms, as we experience kindness from a stranger, encouragement from a rival sibling, or attention from a new romantic interest. In this short segment, love takes many forms and it underpins stories of diaspora, longing, and relocation, demonstrating the strength of relationships between family and friends, old and new, to provide solace and support.

Advised by an administration full of good intentions, Latefa and her two children, Walid and Ptissam, Frenchize their first names at the same time as they acquire French nationality. They face this unique ordeal with humor and lightness, just before the start of the school year.
