Between light and darkness stands Olfa, a Tunisian woman and the mother of four daughters. One day, her two older daughters disappear. To fill in their absence, the filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania invites professional actresses and invents a unique cinema experience that will lift the veil on Olfa and her daughters' life stories. An intimate journey of hope, rebellion, violence, transmission and sisterhood that will question the very foundations of our societies.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →Documentary filmmaking that doesn't collect facts but builds an argument. The director has a position and doesn't hide it — credit for honesty. You watch and know you're being led somewhere specific.
Not without propagandistic techniques, but the arguments are convincing. If the subject interests you — worth watching. If not — it'll overwhelm.
Good for solo viewing or a small group of interested people. Not for a party.
Director: Kaouther Ben Hania
