About the film

What it’s about

Fatima, the youngest in an Algerian immigrant family, leaves home to study philosophy in Paris. Her new life as a student brings her into contact with different ways of living, and she begins to question the traditions she grew up with. This creates friction with her parents and within herself.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who appreciates intimate character studies about family, faith, and self-discovery. It will also resonate with viewers drawn to stories of young people navigating the space between tradition and personal freedom.
