The Little Sister
Directed by Hafsia Herzi
Produced by June Films, Katuh Studio
A tender coming-of-age story about a young woman navigating identity, desire, and belonging between family tradition and personal freedom in contemporary Paris.
Fatima, 17, the youngest daughter of a French-Algerian family in a Paris suburb, leaves school for a prestigious prep class. She plays football, has a secret boyfriend, but hides that she loves women. In Paris, new freedoms clash with family tradition and faith, forcing her to find her own path.
