"A haunting documentary with the uncomfortable intimacy of group therapy."—Raphael Abraham, Financial Times

"A landmark achievement in every sense of the word."—Mina Takla, Awards Watch
This riveting exploration of rebellion, memory, and sisterhood reconstructs the true story of Olfa Hamrouni and her four daughters. We see the complex lives of these women unfold through reenactment and in interviews seamlessly floating between actors and the women themselves. This artful experiment of documentary cinema provides an outlet for Olfa and her daughters to reflect while also giving them a look at an alternate and impossible reality. Grappling with extremism and trauma, director Kaouther Ben Hania's award winning film is powerfully revealing with a spirit of resilience at its core. A tale of motherhood unlike any other.
