FOUR DAUGHTERS
DOCUMENTARY | Arabic | 110 MIN
Oscar® nominated this year for Best Documentary, FOUR DAUGHTERS follows the life of Olfa, a Tunisian woman and mother of 4 daughters, while oscillating between light and shadow. One day, her two eldest daughters disappear. To fill their absence, director Kaouther Ben Hania calls upon professional actors and sets up an extraordinary film mechanism to unveil their story.
An intimate journey full of hope, rebellion, violence, intergenerational transmission and sisterhood, which will question the very foundation of our societies.
