Acclaimed actor turned filmmaker Hafsia Herzi brings stirring intimacy and compassion to this emotionally resonant portrait of queer awakening. A revelatory Nadia Melliti, winner of the Best Actress prize at Cannes, stars as seventeen-year-old Fatima, the youngest of three daughters, who treads carefully as she searches for her own path, grappling with emerging desires, her attraction to women, and her loyalty to her caring French Algerian family. Starting university in Paris, she dates, makes friends, and explores a whole new world, all while confronting a timeless and heartrending dilemma: How can one stay true to oneself when reconciling different parts of one’s identity feels impossible?
