The Little Sister

Seventeen-year-old Fatima, the youngest of three sisters, is torn between her desires and her heart on the one hand, and her family’s conservative traditions on the other. As she begins her studies at a Parisian university, the world she longed for is finally within her reach – but first she must find a way to reconcile it with her heritage, and trust herself to forge her own unique path. Actress-director Hafsia Herzi delivers a subtle, layered drama about an unforgettable young woman, portrayed by Nadia Meliti, whose performance won her the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
